What is Juniper Paragon Insights?

Paragon Insights (formerly HealthBot) is a cloud-native, network health and diagnostic solution that provides operational intelligence across all service provider, cloud, and enterprise network domains, from network access to servers in the data center.

Paragon Insights supports multiple open-source data collection formats, including Junos telemetry interface (JTI) and standards-based OpenConfig telemetry.

Once collected, built-in advanced algorithms and machine learning (ML) technology correlate these data sources, establish operational benchmarks, determine anomalies, and perform proactive corrective actions—all critical to intent-based networking. By translating real time analytics into actionable insights, Paragon Insights provides a multidimensional view of the entire network and its services.
