Bad DOM RX Power Sensor values on down interfaces

My company is deployed Arista and I'm running into some issues with monitoring.

I'm having issues with SNMP reporting 'bad' values on interfaces that have optics installed and are admin up, but with nothing plugged in. These interfaces report a DOM RX Power Sensor value of -100W, which results in a critical hardware alert. Is there a way to work around this besides working with the engineers to start disabling any unused ports, so the they don't result in a hardware alarm. I can also see this resulting in hardware alerts on any interface that goes down.

The switch is a DCS-7050SX3-96YC8.

We have a variety of Arista switches deployed and this is a common theme... It appears Solarwinds categorizes the DOM reading as a "Power Supply" which is obviously wrong... I'd love to get this fixed too...

Please open a ticket with SW support .

When I think about it you need to see if that DCS-7050SX3-96YC8 is supported by SW..?

Somehow "I think they" have only support to the chassis 75xx type..?
