Arista

Background

Arista switch Analysis App automatically Collects - Reads - Parses - Analyzes - Reports all Arista switches generated log data of the server and presents a comprehensive automatic predefined set of Reports, Dashboards and Widgets. Once you Setup and configure the Arista App, you will be redirected to the dashboards where you will have graphs about: errors occurred, users behavior, interfaces utilization, logins, ssh connections and much more.

Arista switches system logs data can be viewed, filtered and searched via the main XpoLog console.
