I setup network monitoring, getting some good SNMP based info from switches throughout my organization. What I really needed though was interface utilization on my Juniper Firewall device (SSG320M [Netscreen]). When I add it though all I see by default is:
ICMP Ping Response Time, Memory Pool Free Memery Percentage, and Processor Utilization.
Based on extensive research I took the following steps to enable monitoring on the devices four ports:
- I've added to the groups "Advanced Network" and "Critical Network Adapters" the specific IF's that correspond to the ports
- I've selected each in the diagram view and run "enable port monitoring" (and received "success" messages).
- I've rerun network discover and rebooted the server after the above changes
Alas there has been no change from the monitoring side.
When I open it in diagram view the interfaces are detected, though initially they were in the "non-monitored" section. They switched to the "Monitored" folder after adding to the "Critical Network Adapters" group but this hasn't changed anything from the monitoring side. I've attempted to enable other originally non-monitored ports on the switches that do have a few ports that are providing monitoring information and these newly enabled ports do not report any data either, leading me to believe this isn't an issue specifically with the SSG320M. Additionally when scanning these devices with Cacti I do get their interface information, so this isn't an issue with the devices or their SNMP settings.
I haven't found any management packs specific to Juniper devices except xSNMP pack that does not work on 2012.

Thanks, let me know if you have any ideas.
