Arista Switch Suggestion

I have not found x-flow to have the accuracy I would like. Either there's a loss of information due to sampling and such low-usage interfaces (or VLANs in this case) are lost in the noise or there's information overload due to no sampling at all.
I have seen very few platforms expose counter information about VLANs in the same way they do regular interfaces. Some Juniper platforms, Mikrotik, and I hear some Aristas as well.

You should be able to do that with Sflow, which they all/most support.
Also, this seems like standard Ifmib stuff, any snmp poller should be able to handle that, from a metrics perspective .

I understand that some Arista switches will expose each VLAN in SNMP so I can monitor traffic on a VLAN independently of over VLANs on that same physical interface. Some of them don't.
Which ones do?
I prefer a solid used switch.
10G ports are fine.
