Junos Snapshot Administrator enables you to capture and audit runtime environment snapshots of your networked devices running the Junos operating system (Junos OS). You can capture and validate the operational status of a device and review operational changes to a device. You create configuration files that define the scope of snapshots and customize the evaluation criteria for the snapshot data.

Junos Snapshot Administrator can perform the following functions on either a single device or list of devices running Junos OS:

• Take a snapshot of the runtime environment on a device.
• Compare two snapshots.
• Audit a device's runtime environment against pre-defined criteria.

For example, prior to a software or hardware upgrade on a device, you can take a pre-install and post-install snapshot of the device and then compare the two snapshots. You can then review the operational changes on the device and validate these changes from a list of expected changes.

Junos Snapshot Administrator can be used with any device running Junos OS. We recommend using Junos OS Release 9.6 or later release. For more information about Junos OS releases, refer to the Juniper Networks technical documentation site at https://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/release-independent/junos/information-products/pathway-pages/junos/product/index.html .
