This feature adds the support for a standby server to the existing syslog logging mechanism for UDP syslog servers. The user can specify a logging group and specify remote syslog servers. The first host configured will be the “active” server, which means syslogs will be forwarded to that host whenever it is reachable via ICMP. The second host will be the “standby” server, which will receive syslogs if the active server goes down. This provides more robustness for setups with multiple potential syslog servers.

Connectivity Monitor is an EOS feature that allows users to monitor their network resources from their Arista switches. The resources being monitored may or may not be Arista devices. Connectivity monitoring is unidirectional in nature.
