Monitoring Arista CVP

Overview

Arista Cloud Vision Portal (CVP) is a management device that enables easy onboarding for Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS) devices.

You can use Arista's CloudVision Portal for device management in TOS to enhance efficiency and save time by eliminating the need to add EOS devices individually.

Add a Device

Select Arista > CVP:
Configure the device settings:
- Device Type: This value is preloaded as Arista CVP.
- Name for Display: Name of the Arosta CVP device.
Click Next.
Configure the TOS connection to the Arista CVP device, according to the parameters required by the device:
- Enter the authentication details needed to connect to the Arista CVP device. The user must have Read (Read Only, or Read/Write) permissions for all information on the Arista CVP device.
- Click Retrieve Certificate to setup encrypted communication between TOS and the Arista CVP device.
Click Next.
In Monitoring Settings, do one of the following:
- Select Default to use real-time monitoring and timing settings from the Timing page.
Otherwise, select Custom and configure the monitoring mode and settings.
- In Periodic Polling, select Custom settings and configure the Polling frequency - the frequency at which TOS fetches the configuration from each device.
  If you select 1 day, you can then select the exact time (hour and minute) for the daily polling.
