Centralized Arista switch log monitoring with Log360

Log360 offers a centralized platform to collect, monitor, and analyze logs from Arista switches, empowering organizations to detect security incidents, track configuration changes, and maintain full network visibility. By gathering syslogs directly from Arista devices, Log360 delivers timely insights that enhance threat detection, compliance adherence, and network troubleshooting efforts.

How Log360 gathers and processes Arista logs

Log360 supports seamless, syslog collection from Arista devices. After configuring syslog forwarding on your Arista switches, logs are securely transmitted to Log360 for processing. Key capabilities include:

• Centralized collection of Arista logs over TCP or UDP syslog protocols.
• Structured parsing and normalization of logs to enable efficient indexing, categorization, and correlation across devices.

Key events captured from Arista devices

Log360 monitors a broad spectrum of events from Arista infrastructure, offering detailed visibility into network activity and potential security risks, such as:

• Logon events: Successful and failed logins, and logon trends.
• Firewall traffic events: Allowed and denied traffic, along with trends for both.
• Interface events: Interface up and down status.
• System events: Configuration changes, configuration errors, system reboots, executed commands, and fan, power, temperature, and package statuses.
• Device severity events: Emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, informational, and debug events.

Comprehensive monitoring and reporting

With Log360, network teams can easily track and report on critical Arista device activity through:

• Real-time dashboards displaying device health, user logins, and configuration updates.
• Prebuilt reports covering device access, interface events, and configuration changes.
• Alerting mechanisms for suspicious activities, such as repeated failed logins or unauthorized configuration changes.
• Flexible log search options, enabling quick retrieval of raw or filtered Arista logs.
• Correlation of Arista logs with other network and endpoint data to support thorough investigations.

Addressing common challenges

The Log360 advantage: Beyond Arista logs

Beyond monitoring Arista infrastructure, Log360 offers extensive capabilities across your entire IT environment:

• Log correlation from servers, firewalls, and endpoints.
• User behavior analytics to identify insider threats and anomalous activities.
• Integration with global threat intelligence for proactive defense.
• A unified interface to oversee security events, compliance status, and system performance seamlessly.
