Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.16
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> JUNIPER-MIB::jnxBoxKernelMemoryUsedPercent

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.16.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> JUNIPER-MIB::jnxBoxKernelMemoryUsedPercent.1

Start monitoring Juniper Networks Junos OS device (top-level enterprise MIB, any generation) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the JUNIPER-MIB::jnxBoxKernelMemoryUsedPercent OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Juniper Networks Junos OS device (top-level enterprise MIB, any generation) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Juniper Networks Junos OS device as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type jnxBoxKernelMemoryUsedPercent into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the percentage of kernel memory currently in use on this device. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if kernel memory usage exceeds 90%, since sustained high kernel memory pressure can lead to dropped packets or process instability. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
