See it as tweaking the wheel... Now a perl script (with caching) to monitor VCP ports on QFX5100's is re-inventing the wheel, just because their engineers opted out of the usual way to handle network interfaces. They could have simply named them VCP-<Member ID>/0/x instead of naming them all VCP-255/0/x ----- Alain Hebert ahebert@pubnix.net PubNIX Inc. 50 boul. St-Charles P.O.

Hello All,
Thanks for your replies.

I had hoped not to have to re-invent the wheel.

Get the MIBS of the devices you want to monitor, then build SNMP sense programs to pull the information you need. The NAGIOS manuals should describe how to do this.

Hello All,
Does anyone have a ready to use nagios/icinga plugin for hardware health and temperature monitoring of arista devices that they are willing to share? (7050, 7280 and 7500)
With google searches I can't find any available.
Arista TAC replied: "nagios does snmp, so that should fit you needs"
There is https://github.com/ncsa/nagios-plugins which should be able to be augmented to do the extra checks. And with pyeapi it shouldn't be rocket science either. (for a developer, which I am not)
If I were to request our devops department to build it it would probably put in back of a very long queue.
So if there is anyone out there that is willing to share it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bas
