Cisco and juniper both use CLoudShell for these activities.

Do you really want asset management tools, or configuration management tools with asset discovery / inventory 
capability?

Juniper supports Chef configuration management pretty extensively, and is widely used for systems management and 
patch management on Linux.  Scales to multisite well.  There are tie-ins to be able to export monitoring and alerting 
tool configurations based on server and network inventories, etc.

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos-chef11.10/topics/concept/chef-overview.html

There are also Puppet, Ansible, and Saltstack in this product space, slightly less well supported with Juniper as I 
understand it (haven't looked extensively, someone else may have better info).

Hey there

I am looking for a tool recommendation for network and server asset management which can scale in multiple sites and 
integrate with other platforms like nagios, librenms. Being able to do patch management is plus. Mostly linux and 
juniper shop

Any recommendations?
