Chapter 6
Automating Network Operations and
Troubleshooting
J-series Services Routers support automation of network operations and
troubleshooting tasks using commit scripts, operation scripts, and event policies.
You can use commit scripts to enforce custom configuration rules. Operation scripts
allow you to automate network management and troubleshooting tasks. You can
configure event policies that initiate self-diagnostic actions on the occurrence of
specific events.
This chapter contains the following topics. For more information about using commit
scripts and operation scripts and configuring event policies, see the JUNOS
Configuration and Diagnostic Automation Guide.
If the router is operating in a Common Criteria environment, see the Secure
Configuration Guide for Common Criteria and JUNOS-FIPS.

Commit Script Overview
Commit scripts run each time a new candidate configuration is committed and inspect
the configuration. If a candidate configuration does not adhere to your design rules,
a commit script can instruct the Services Router to perform various actions, including
