LLDP collection from Arista switches
Hi guys
We're looking at the Port -> Map view of our Aristas to determine what's connected to them. But this map seems to lack information compared to what we can see directly on the switch.
Any information I can provide that would help in troubleshooting this?

Hi,
I not understand what you mean.. Show as screenshot(s) please :)
And probably need output from discovery debug as: ./discovery.php -d -m neighbours -h <device>

Hi Mike.
The map for a switch looks like this:
[cid:image001.png@01D7378B.7B6CF900]
The LLDP-output from the switch is:
[cid:image002.png@01D7378B.7B6CF900]
So for some reason, only the host on Ethernet 15 is in the Observium map. But there are a lot more hosts connected on that server.
I ran the discovery in debug mode and the output was massive. There might be information in there that we can't share, so I need to go through that before I can post here. I can see that Observium is trying to discover all the hosts it finds via LLDP, but that's not possible since they are VMware ESXi servers and don't do SNMP. Would that be the reason why they don't populate the map?

Hi Lars,
The output from a debugged "neighbours" discovery run would be useful:
./discovery.php -h <hostname> -m neighbours -d > output.txt

Hi Adam
I sent you the output privately. Did you get a chance to look at it?
