Description

This ZenPack adds Device monitoring for Arista Switches

Adding Devices

Add Devices to the /Network/Switch/Arista DeviceClass. If necessary, configure SNMP settings as with any SNMP monitored device. Once configured, Model the device.

Metric Polling

BGP Peer components

Transport sessions to BGP Peers are negotiated using a combination of address family (AFI/SAFI) values and these can differ between BGP Peers, which affects the collection of BGP prefix metrics (e.g., aristaBgp4V2PrefixInPrefixes). Instead of modeling each possibility or hardcoding for a specific combination, BGP prefix metrics will be a sum of all AFI/SAFI combination values by default.

If a specific AFI/SAFI combination is desired, it can be set at the datapoint\'s \"API Metric\" configuration attribute in the monitioring template. The \"API Metric\" value format is the AFI value, a period, and then SAFI value. An example value would be \"1.1\" for IPv4(1) and unicast(1).

If the collection of multiple specific AFI/SAFI combinations is desired, additional datapoints can be created and their \"API Metric\" attribute set as needed.

Thresholds

Temperature Sensors

Thresholds values for Temperature Sensors are collected during modeling. If values are changed they will be collected during the next model run.

Interfaces

The \"Interface Unified Status\" is a status threshold applied against a calculation of two datapoints. The possible values of the datapoints are:

ifAdminStatus: 0, 1, 2, 3

ifOperStatus: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7

The result from the simple calculation, (ifAdminStatus * 10) + ifOperStatus, is mapped to an event severity. Below is the default mapping:

	Unknown[0]	Up[1]	Down[2]	Testing[3]
Unknown[0]	0 (Info)	10 (Info)	20 (Clear)	30 (Info)
Up[1]	1 (Info)	11 (Clear)	21 (Clear)	31 (Info)
Down[2]	2 (Info)	12 (Critical)	22 (Clear)	32 (Info)
Testing[3]	3 (Info)	13 (Warning)	23 (Clear)	33 (Info)
Unknown[4]	4 (Info)	14 (Info)	24 (Clear)	34 (Info)
Dormant[5]	5 (Info)	15 (Clear)	25 (Clear)	35 (Info)
Not Present[6]	6 (Info)	16 (Info)	26 (Clear)	36 (Info)
Lower Layer Down[7]	7 (Info)	17 (Info)	27 (Clear)	37 (Info)
