Resource-monitoring mechanism using CLI statements and SNMP MIB objects

Junos OS supports a resource monitoring capability using both the configuration statements in the CLI and SNMP MIB queries. You can employ this utility to provision sufficient headroom (memory space limits that are set for the application or virtual router) for monitoring the health and operating efficiency of DPCs and MPCs. To configure the resource-monitoring capability on MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2010, and MX2020 routers, include the resource-monitor statement and its substatements at the [edit system services] hierarchy level. You specify the high threshold value that is common for all the memory spaces or regions and the watermark values for the different memory blocks on DPCs and MPCs.
