Juniper model mismatch between Node Details and List Resources

Device name mismatch in the Orion Web Console for a Juniper SRX5600 firewall. In Node details, Machine Type gives "Juniper SRX5600 Firewall" which is correct. But under List Resources, CPU & Memory there are 2 radio boxes. One has "CPU & Memory by Solarwinds" and the other has "Juniper SRX1400 v2 by SolarWinds". List Resources lists the resource as "SRX1400" instead of "SRX5600". SolarWinds NPM 12.1 and earlier.

Resolution

This is by design.

In List Resources for the firewall, there are 2 radio boxes for CPU & Memory:

CPU & Memory by SolarWinds
Juniper SRX1400 v2 by SolarWinds

The CPU & Memory poller for Juniper SRX devices was introduced to fix an issue related to incorrect memory usage data when using the default CPU & Memory by SolarWinds poller. The poller for Juniper SRX devices was based on the SRX1400 v2 model, and hence the name used.
