Introduction

This section describes how to monitor Juniper: Mist devices in SL1 using the Dynamic Applications in the Juniper: Mist PowerPack.

The following sections provide an overview of Juniper: Mist and the Juniper: MistPowerPack:

What Does the Juniper: Mist PowerPack Monitor?

To monitor Juniper: Mist devices using SL1, you can install the Juniper: MistPowerPack. This PowerPack enables you to align Dynamic Applications to Juniper: Mist devices to collect data.

The Juniper: MistPowerPack includes:

• Dynamic Applications that enable SL1 to align to and monitor Juniper: Mist devices
• Device Classes for each type of Juniper: Mist component device SL1 monitors

• Event Policies that are triggered when Juniper: Mist devices meet certain status criteria
• A sample SOAP/XML Credential ("Juniper Mist Example") that you can use to create your own Juniper: Mist Credential

Installing the Juniper: Mist PowerPack

Before completing the steps in this section, you must import and install the latest version of the Juniper: MistPowerPack.

By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack overwrites all content from a previous version of that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent new PowerPacks from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields. For more information, see the section on Global Settings.

Ensure that you are running version 12.1.2 or later of SL1 before installing this PowerPack.

For details on upgrading SL1, see the relevant SL1 Platform Release Notes.

To download and install the PowerPack:

1. Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page (Product Downloads > PowerPacks & SyncPacks) at the ScienceLogic Support Site.
2. In SL1, go to the PowerPacks page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
3. Click the Actions button and choose Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack dialog box appears.
4. Click [Browse] and navigate to the PowerPack file from step 1.
5. Select the PowerPack file and click Import. The PowerPack Installer modal displays a list of the PowerPack contents.
6. Click Install. The PowerPack is added to the PowerPacks page.

If you exit the PowerPack Installer modal without installing the imported PowerPack, the imported PowerPack will not appear in the PowerPacks page. However, the imported PowerPack will appear in the Imported PowerPacks modal. This page appears when you click the Actions menu and select Install PowerPack.
