Arista EOS

Version: Arista EOS 4.23.x and above

Extensible Operating System (EOS) is Arista’ s network operating system. It comes as one image that runs across all Arista devices and in virtual machines (VM). EOS is a scalable network Operating System (OS) that offers high availability, streamlined maintenance processes, and enhanced network security.

Arista EOS when configured, sends events to Netsurion using syslog.

Arista EOS sends events like switch configuration, interface status, user logon activities, etc. Generates reports on user login success, user logout, and configuration changes on Arista EOS. It contains username, client IP address, login status, interface status, and message. Graphically displays user login and logout by usernames, configuration changes by usernames, etc. It generates alerts, network interface card shutdown, user login fails and switch restart, etc.

  • Security – User login failed events
  • Operations – User login and logout, switch interface events
  • Compliance – Switch configuration events

Once Arista EOS is configured to deliver events to Netsurion Open XDR then alerts, dashboards, and reports can be configured into Netsurion Open XDR.
