Proposed Changes

The Ansible section of Inventory File document (https://suzieq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/inventory/#ansible) mentions REST transport as the assumed transport for Arista EOS devices specified in an Ansible inventory, but does not mention that you cannot override that setting with transport parameter of devices section.

For example, sq-poller still uses REST API to collect data from Arista EOS devices when using the following configuration file:

---
sources:
- name: netlab-ansible
  type: ansible
  path: /cfdir/ansible-inventory.json

devices:
- name: ignore-known-hosts
  ignore-known-hosts: true
  transport: ssh

auths:
- name: vagrant
  username: vagrant
  password: plain:vagrant

namespaces:
- name: netlab
  source: netlab-ansible
  device: ignore-known-hosts
  auth: vagrant

We'll fiix this in the code.
