To integrate Port Channels and Arista Networks with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Port Channels and Arista Networks and how that can support your monitoring system.
A Port Channel, otherwise known as a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), is a communication link between two switches. They aggregate multiple physical interfaces into one logical interface. In other words, they combine the bandwidth of multiple ethernet ports. By doing so, port channels can provide higher bandwidth, load balancing, and link redundancy in cases where links were to fail.
Arista Networks is an American computer networking company. Founded in 2004, they are now based in California, US. Arista provides a range of network hardware products, for example, multilayer network switches to deliver software-defined networking (SDN) solutions.
These are designed for large datacenter, high-performance computing, cloud computing, and high-frequency trading environments. They also provide a linux-based operating system for all their products named Extensible Operating System (EOS). Being a major competitor in the networking industry, Arista is considered among the best in this market.
To integrate Port Channels and Arista Networks with your monitoring system, sign up for a free trial with MetricFire. Talk with the MetricFire team about how to integrate Port Channels and Arista Networks and get Port Channels and Arista Networks interacting with your MetricFire dashboards directly.
MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. We enable you to use Hosted Graphite and aesthetic custom dashboards to visualize your metrics so you can understand what is happening.
MetricFire offers users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of popular open-source monitoring software services: Graphite and popular dashboards. Plugins for many 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, but we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire boosts the unique features of open-source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:

“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.”
