Arista by SNMP

Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of Arista monitoring by Zabbix via SNMP and doesn't require any external scripts.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • Arista DCS-7050Q-16 EOS version 4.12.6

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

Refer to the vendor documentation.

Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Ethernet has changed to lower speed than it was before

This Ethernet connection has transitioned down from its known maximum speed. This might be a sign of autonegotiation issues. Acknowledge to close the problem manually.

Name Description Type Key and additional info
Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Duplex status

MIB: EtherLike-MIB

The current mode of operation of the MAC

entity. 'unknown' indicates that the current

duplex mode could not be determined.

Management control of the duplex mode is

accomplished through the MAU MIB. When

an interface does not support autonegotiation,

or when autonegotiation is not enabled, the

duplex mode is controlled using

ifMauDefaultType. When autonegotiation is

supported and enabled, duplex mode is controlled

using ifMauAutoNegAdvertisedBits. In either

case, the currently operating duplex mode is

reflected both in this object and in ifMauType.

Note that this object provides redundant

information with ifMauType. Normally, redundant

objects are discouraged. However, in this

instance, it allows a management application to

determine the duplex status of an interface

without having to know every possible value of

ifMauType. This was felt to be sufficiently

valuable to justify the redundancy.
