Arista Exporter

Prometheus exporter for Arista switches. Uses the Go Client for eAPI to query output from various commands related to MLAG status, supervisor redundancy status, port-channel status, and power supply status. This exporter is intended to query multiple Arista switches from an external host.

The /arista metrics endpoint exposes the Arista metrics and requires a target parameter. The module parameter can also be used to select which probe commands to run, the default module is power. Available modules are:

• mlag
• power
• portchannel
• redundancy
• switchover

The /metrics endpoint exposes Go and process metrics for this exporter.
