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.

This feature is an extension of ZTX monitor mode functionality to virtual machines where a virtual machine running on a hypervisor(ESXi/KVM) will facilitate the generation of MSS policies by exporting flow telemetry to CloudVision Portal. vZTX will primarily focus on the use cases where the data traffic in the customer sites are limited(<10Gbps). This will help the customer to reduce the capital expenditure costs by avoiding the need of purchasing a dedicated hardware box. So, this product can cater to the needs of small to medium size enterprise customers.

Since the introduction of PTP Monitoring feature[1], PTP is capable of recording recent metrics for offset from

The primary purpose of the ZTX Node in Monitor Mode is to provide visibility into app-to-app traffic in the network, and to develop non-intrusive MSS policies that are aligned with applications requirements. Deploying group-based MSS policies is essential to secure Data Center and Campus environments, the ZTX Monitor Node provides the visibility needed to build such policies. The below diagram depicts how ZTX Node fits into a network to provide visibility.
