[j-nsp] Junos Telemetry Interface

Mon Apr 13 17:22:30 EDT 2020

Hi

Check out Juniper Healthbot. It can consume Netconf, SNMP, Syslog, Native
and OpenConfig, also works with Cisco.
Still pretty fresh product but has potential. 3.0 should be released
soonish. Freemium approach where you can use basic features for free as
long as you have a service contract for the device you want to monitor.
Payed version has more features.

note: Some errors in the documentation above that I have flagged,
OpenConfig, iAgent/Netconfig and SNMP can of course be used both inband and
out of band.
