To integrate Arista EOS and MetricFire, reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Arista EOS and MetricFire, and see how that benefits your monitoring system.
MetricFire is a full-scale platform that offers infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. The platform allows you to use either Prometheus- or Graphite-as-a-Service and have your metrics displayed on aesthetically-pleasing Grafana dashboards.
MetricFire offers its users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, which is made up of three of the most popular open-source monitoring software services: Prometheus, Graphite, and Grafana. As well, plugins for a number of other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire works to boost the unique features of the open source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
Cloud and on Premise Monitoring
Hosted Prometheus
Hosted Graphite
Grafana Dashboards
Whether to use Prometheus or Graphite is a great question. We’ve looked deeper into this decision in our blog article, Prometheus or Graphite. While Prometheus is a newer software that has a multidimensional data structure, Graphite is robust and sufficient. The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:
No vendor lock-ins
MetricFire allows you to request for a full export at any time, because you will always own the data you input. You get all the benefits of an open-source tool with the stability and security of a SaaS tool.
Easy Budgeting
A structured pricing model allows you to save time and work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allows you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future.
Transparency
MetricFire works transparently on all aspects of their operations of SaaS system monitoring. You can see their own internal system metrics at their public status page.
Robust Support
Technical support is provided by engineers for engineers, so you can expect detailed and relevant answers to your queries.
EOS (Arista Extensible Operating System) is a Network Operating system made for networking hardware from Arista Systems. It runs on an unmodified Lunix Kernal and comes as one “image” which can be used across all Arista products. In order to communicate with switches, EOS offers application programming interfaces (APIs) which can also be used to control all aspects of the switch.
Used for next-generation data centers and cloud networks, Arisa EOS can scale to hundreds of thousands of compute and storage nodes. EOS is known to deliver workflow automation, high availability and network visibility, analytics, and rapid integration. It is also possible to integrate a number of third-party applications for virtualization, management, automation and orchestration services.

“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
Your network needs to be managed and monitored just like the rest of your IT infrastructure. MetricFire has a cloud-based network monitoring solution that perfectly matches your scale.
Monitor cloud to ensure it is utilized properly and produces the desired outcomes. At MetricFire, with minimum configuration, you can utilize our solution to acquire detailed insight into your environments.
