EM: Switch Port Status and Updates

This idea was imported from Canny. Originally created by: Daniel Lotterman. The current owner is: Unassigned.

The Equinix Metal platform knows which ToR switch ports are owned by which customers. When the Equinix Metal network sees or creates an event for a customers ports, that event should be surfaced in the EM customer portal or Equinix Observeability stack Examples of these would be: Shutting ports because of LACP Shutting ports because of duplicate MACs Flapping events BGP Shut / Open This would help customers become self sufficient on the platform as well as reduce the "confirmation" "go to NetOps and ask" burden on the support and operations teams. Initial idea would be to centralize and aggregate switch log data, and then summarize that with a simple ETL the runs every 5 minutes or so.
