I've been trying to use maps from Network Atlas to show link utilization between our Juniper switches. Like others, I've run into the problem that Network Atlas draws the topology on Juniper switches from subinterfaces (xe-0/0/0.0) while traffic statistics come from the physical interface (xe-0/0/0) - and there doesn't seem a way to override ConnectNow for maps with link utilisation. (I've not seen any solutions in other discussions on this topic - I know about the tooltip hack, but that doesn't really help when trying to get a status overview at a glance from a map.)
Are there any plans to make ConnectNow actually usable with Juniper gear (I would be fine with a solution that allows me to pick the interface to take statistics from manually, no automatic wizardry required)?
Are there any general recommendations on how to configure resource polling for Juniper switches in NPM, by the way? I assume that collecting traffic and error statistics on subinterfaces is not really useful, but I'm not keen on clicking through a couple hundred .0 interfaces to manually disable that...
