Issue: Fix “network os junipernetworks.junos.junos is not supported” error when using ansible_network_os=junipernetworks.junos.junos

Background

With the transfer of Ansible support for Junos devices from the junipernetworks.junos collection to the new juniper.device collection, most modules were redirected using meta/runtime.yml. This ensured backward compatibility for playbooks that still invoked modules from junipernetworks.junos.

Example redirect in meta/runtime.yml:

Fixing `ModuleNotFoundError: ansible.netcommon` locally and Running Sanity Tests (Python 3.12)

Step 1: Create and activate Python 3.12 virtual environment

cd ~/
mkdir myenv-python312 && cd myenv-python312
pyenv local 3.12.3
python -m venv venvjuno312
source venvjuno312/bin/activate

Network Health Check Validated Content - Automation Overview

Introduction

To streamline network operations and accelerate incident response, we have developed a validated Ansible content collection that automates routine health-checks on network devices. This collection provides modular roles designed to gather critical health information across multiple network platforms (Cisco IOS-XR, IOS-XE, NX-OS, and Arista EOS).

Validated Collection Roles Overview

CPU Health Check

Monitors CPU utilization across devices, ensuring resources are optimized and identifying potential performance bottlenecks proactively.
