Configuring Juniper CSO Observer jobs
Using the Juniper CSO Observer, you can define a full load job that will gather and read data about topology data from Juniper CSO.
Before you begin
Important: The Juniper CSO observer supports the on-premises Juniper CSO version 4.1.0.
Ensure you have the Juniper CSO details to hand, such as details of the Juniper CSO apiserver and its credentials.
The Juniper CSO Observer retrieves topology data from Juniper CSO Release 4.1 through REST APIs exposed by CSO API server.
Enabling access to the URL routes
To access the URL routes for the topology Swagger documentation, see the Enabling access to URL routes topic.
About this task
You define and start the following job.
Full Topology Upload job
By default, Load jobs are one-off, transient jobs that do a full upload of all requested topology data as soon as they are triggered.
You can also run these jobs (again) manually from the Observer UI, or schedule them to run at set times when configuring them.
Run this job whenever you need the Juniper CSO topology data refreshed.
Procedure
Define or edit the following parameters, then click Run job to save and run the job.
