How to establish the IP SLA for ARISTA NETWORK DEVICES

Implementing IP SLAs on Arista Networks is really a challenging compared to standard methods that we usually used in the monitoring. Unlike other vendors where OIDs readily map to specific performance metrics, Arista relies heavily on scripts-based for IP SLA configuration.

I was able to get the OID but I do not know the "specific OID" to use in IP SLA. Is there anyone who can help on this please?

IP SLA is a cisco thing, what's the arista equivalent called?

Yes, IP SLA is usually supported by Cisco Device but some of the devices registered in monitoring was moved to "Arista Networks". Based on my understanding, they both have the same performances but different set up in IP SLA. We will use UnDP to set up the Arista IP SLA. Any idea?

IP SLA is a proprietary cisco thing, as in only cisco gets IP SLA. It's basically a ping check though, so it's easy for equivalents to exist, but IP SLA is definitely. just cisco.

If you know what arista's equivalent is called, as in, the name of the feature, that should help narrow it down.

If you're hoping to use unDP you're hoping it's in SNMP somewhere, and that means it's probably best to look in a mib directory with the name of the feature
