Error description

• The JuniperBoxAnatomy agent doesn't contain all the discovered
  entries correctly.  Based on the data in the model, it appears
  to be leveraging some of the data in the jnxContainersTable and
  the jnxContentsTable,but not the jnxFilledTable or the
  jnxFruTable.  Check that; you may be taking data from
  jnxFruTable for some of the info that's visible in the structure
  browser, but not using it for containment.  Hrm, and you might
  even be using the jnxFilledTable for proper containment of fans
  to fan trays, but again, not for card-in-card.
  
  Because of this, containment isn't happening correctly for
  cards-within-cards in the chassis.
