Juniper Telemetry Stack - aka. JTS
Disclaimer
This project is a "side time project". I'm not a software developper, so be indulgent with me :).
Quick Overview
Embark on a journey to discover and embrace Juniper Telemetry solution with this simple project. Designed for effortless adoption, this all-in-one tool is here to demystify gRPC Telemetry on Juniper routing products. We currently support PTX 10K, MX (vMX, Neo and 10K platforms) & ACX 7K platforms. Junos/EVO 20.1 and onwards are supported.
Feel free to open issue if you experience some troubles for a given HW or SW version. The profiles have been tested with recent Junos releases so some older versions may use different "counters" naming - especially when OpenConfig models are used. I can easily patch a profile, in minutes, without touching the code. Moreover, if you want I develop a new profile for a new use case, don't hesitate to also open an issue.
This project is made around 3 main repos:
- OpenJTS: https://github.com/door7302/openjts - provides the infra for deplying the stack and includes all theh profiles
- JTSO: https://github.com/door7302/jtso - the source code of the jtso component
- JTS Telegraf: https://github.com/door7302/jts_telegraf - a fork of the telegraf project which includes several plugins and enhancements for OpenJTS.
All comments, remarks, ideas are welcome. you can reach out to me here: door7302@gmail.com
Getting Start

Presentation
This is a repo to build from scratch a Telemetry stack to monitor any Juniper Routing Devices.
This stack has the codename "JTS" which stands for Juniper Telemetry Stack
This stack relies on OpenSource software solutions such as Telegraf for collecting gNMI Telemetry state data (it also supports Netconf input plugin for data not yet available through Telemetry) and pre-processing the data, InfluxDB as a Time Series Database to store data, Kapacitor to aggregate and perform Alarming and finally Grafana to display contents. A specific piece of software developed by Juniper and called JTSO, which stands for JTS Orchestrator, is also present in the stack (Dev. in GOLANG). This piece of software developed by TME AWAN Team has 2 main roles: the first one is to manage the Stack (provision routers IP, select the pre shipped profils) and on the other hands provide an Enricher tool to enrich on-the-fly telemetry data for better visualization and aggregation).
JTS is pre-filled with templates of configuration and dashbords for typical use cases. Those profiles are tgz files store in compose/jso/profiles directory
JTS relies on Docker Compose to deploy in one command this stack. Please be sure you have done all the prerequisites before.
JTS has only been validated for Ubuntu/Debian Host OS.
{- Notice: Currently JTS uses a specific build of Telegraf which offers more functionalities (dev. by Juniper). Juniper will continue to push these enhancements to the official Telegraf project -}
