12.2(33)SXI	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXI.

Usage Guidelines

The resource event detector publishes an event when the ERM reports an event for the specified policy. The ERM infrastructure tracks resource depletion and resource dependencies across processes and within a system to handle various error conditions. The error conditions are handled by providing an equitable sharing of resources between various applications. The ERM framework provides a communication mechanism for resource entities and allows communication between these resource entities from numerous locations. The ERM framework also helps in debugging the CPU and memory- related issues. The ERM monitors system resource usage to better understand scalability needs by allowing you to configure threshold values for resources such as CPU, buffer, and memory.

Examples

The following example shows how to specify event criteria based on an ERM event report for a policy defined to report high CPU usage:


Router(config)# event manager applet policy-one
Router(config-applet)# event resource policy cpu-high
Router(config-applet)# action 1.0 syslog msg “CPU high at $_resource_current_value percent”

Release	Modification
12.4(20)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRE	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to allow an EEM applet to be executed using the RPC command.

When an applet is configured to run using the RPC command, all output is still sent to the Command-Line-Interface (CLI) console and not sent in the RPC reply message; so an RPC ED applet is not very useful.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the event rpc command with maximum runtime set to 3000 seconds.


Router(onfig-applet)# event rpc maxrun 3000

The following example shows how to send a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message request and receive reply:

Syntax Description


tag	(Optional) Specifies a tag using the `event-tag` argument that can be used with the trigger command to support multiple event statements within an applet.
`event-tag`	(Optional) String that identifies the tag.
oid	Specifies the SNMP object identifier (object ID) value in the `oid-value` argument as the event criteria.
`oid-value`	Object ID value of the data element, in SNMP dotted notation. An OID is defined as a type in the associated MIB, CISCO-EMBEDDED-EVENT-MGR-MIB, and each type has an object value. Monitoring of some OID types is supported. When the oid keyword is used, an error message is returned if the OID is not one of the following: INTEGER_TYPE COUNTER_TYPE GAUGE_TYPE TIME_TICKS_TYPE COUNTER_64_TYPE OCTET_PRIM_TYPE OPAQUE_PRIM_TYPE
get-type	Specifies the type of SNMP get operation to be applied to the object ID specified by the `oid-value` argument.
exact	Retrieves the object ID specified by the `oid-value` argument.
next	Retrieves the object ID that is the alphanumeric successor to the object ID specified by the `oid-value` argument.
entry-op	Compares the contents of the current object ID with the entry value using the specified operator. If there is a match, an event is triggered and event monitoring is disabled until the exit criteria are met.
`operator`	Two-character string. The `operator` argument takes one of the following values: gt --Greater than. ge --Greater than or equal to. eq --Equal to. ne --Not equal to. lt --Less than. le --Less than or equal to.
entry-val	Specifies the value with which the contents of the current object ID are compared to decide if an SNMP event should be raised.
`entry-value`	Entry object ID value of the data element.
entry-type	Specifies a type of operation to be applied to the object ID specified by the `entry-value` argument.
value	Value is defined as the actual value of the `entry-value` or `exit-value` argument.
increment	Increment uses the `entry-value` or `exit-value` field as an incremental difference and the `entry-value` or `exit-value` is compared with the difference between the current counter value and the value when the event was last triggered (or the first polled sample if this is a new event). A negative value checks the incremental difference for a counter that is decreasing.
rate	Rate is defined as the average rate of change over a period of time. The time period is the `average-factor-value` multiplied by the `poll-int-value` . At each poll interval the difference between the current sample and the previous sample is taken and recorded as an absolute value. An average of the previous `average-factor-value` samples is taken to be the rate of change.
exit-comb	(Optional) Indicates the combination of exit conditions that must be met before event monitoring is reenabled.
or	(Optional) Specifies that an exit comparison operator and an exit object ID value or an exit time value must exist.
and	(Optional) Specifies that an exit comparison operator, an exit object ID value, and an exit time value must exist.
exit-op	(Optional) Compares the contents of the current object ID with the exit value using the specified operator. If there is a match, an event is triggered and event monitoring is reenabled.
exit-val	(Optional) Specifies the value with which the contents of the current object ID are compared to decide whether the exit criteria are met.
`exit-value`	(Optional) Exit object ID value of the data element.
exit-type	(Optional) Specifies a type of operation to be applied to the object ID specified by the `exit-value` argument. If not specified, the value is assumed.
exit-time	(Optional) Specifies the time period after which the event monitoring is reenabled. The timing starts after the event is triggered.
`exit-time-value`	(Optional) Number that represents seconds and optional milliseconds in the format ssssss[.mmm]. The range for seconds is from 0 to 4294967295. The range for milliseconds is from 0 to 999. If only milliseconds are used, the format is 0.mmm.
exit-event	(Optional) Indicates whether a separate exit event is to be triggered when event monitoring is enabled after an initial event is triggered.
true	(Optional) Specifies that a separate exit event is triggered.
false	(Optional) Specifies that a separate exit event is not triggered. This is the default.
average-factor	(Optional) Specifies a number used to calculate the period used for rate-based calculations. The `average-factor-value` is multiplied by the `poll-int-value` to derive the period in milliseconds.
`average-factor-value`	(Optional) Number in the range from 1 to 64. The minimum average factor value is 1.
poll-interval	Specifies the time interval between consecutive polls.
`poll-int-value`	Number that represents seconds and optional milliseconds in the format ssssss[.mmm]. The range for seconds is from 1 to 4294967295. The range for milliseconds is from 0 to 999. The minimum polling interval is 1 second.

Usage Guidelines

An EEM event is triggered when one of the fields specified by an SNMP object ID crosses a defined threshold. If multiple conditions exist, the SNMP event will be triggered when all the conditions are met.

Exit criteria are optional. If exit criteria are not specified, event monitoring will be reenabled immediately. If exit criteria are specified--on the basis of values or time periods--event monitoring is not reenabled until the criteria are met.

When the entry-op keyword is used and there is a match, an event is triggered and event monitoring is disabled until the exit criteria are met.

When the exit-op keyword is used and there is a match, an event is triggered and event monitoring is reenabled.

The entry-type keyword triggers one of the following actions:

If the value keyword is specified, the entry-value is an actual value and an SNMP event is raised whenever the absolute value occurs.
If the increment keyword is specified, the entry-value is an increment and an SNMP event is raised whenever the incremental value is reached.
If the rate keyword is specified, the entry-value is a rate of change and an SNMP event is raised whenever the rate of change value is reached.

When the optional exit-type keyword is used, the following occurs:

If the value keyword is specified, the exit-value is an actual value and the event monitoring is reenabled whenever the absolute value occurs. This is the default.
If the increment keyword is specified, the exit-value is an increment and the event monitoring is reenabled whenever the incremental value is reached.
If the rate keyword is specified, the exit-value is a rate of change and the event monitoring is reenabled whenever the rate of change value is reached.

The increment and rate types are supported only for the following OID types: INTEGER_TYPE, COUNTER_TYPE, and COUNTER_64_TYPE.

Examples

The following example shows how an EEM applet called memory-fail will run when there is an exact match on the value of a specified SNMP object ID that represents the amount of current process memory. A message saying that process memory is exhausted and noting the current available memory will be sent to syslog.


Router(config)# event manager applet memory-fail
Router(config-applet)# event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.6.1 get-type exact entry-op lt entry-val 5120000 poll-interval 10
Router(config-applet)# action 1.0 syslog msg "Memory exhausted; current available memory is $_snmp_oid_val bytes"

The following example shows an EEM applet called IPSLAping1 being registered to run when there is an exact match on the value of a specified SNMP object ID that represents a successful IP SLA ICMP echo operation (this is equivalent to a ping command). Four actions are triggered when the echo operation fails, and event monitoring is disabled until after the second failure.

A message saying that the ICMP echo operation to a server failed is sent to syslog, an SNMP trap is generated, EEM publishes an application-specific event, and a counter called IPSLA1F is incremented by a value of one.


Router(config)# event manager applet IPSLAping1
Router(config-applet)# event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.9.1.6.4 get-type exact
entry-op eq entry-val 1 exit-op eq exit-val 2 poll-interval 5
Router(config-applet)# action 1.0 syslog priority critical msg "Server IP echo failed:

Command	Description
event manager applet	Registers an event applet with the Embedded Event Manager and enters applet configuration mode.

event timer

To specify the event criteria for an Embedded Event Manager (EEM) applet that is run on the basis of time-specific events, use the event timer command in applet configuration mode. To remove the time-specific event criteria, use the no form of this command.

event [tag event-tag] timer {absolute time time-value | countdown time time-value | cron cron-entry cron-entry | watchdog time time-value} [name timer-name]

no event [tag event-tag] timer {absolute time time-value | countdown time time-value | cron cron-entry cron-entry | watchdog time time-value} [name timer-name]

Syntax Description


tag	(Optional) Specifies a tag using the `event-tag` argument that can be used with the trigger command to support multiple event statements within an applet.
`event-tag`	(Optional) String that identifies the tag.
absolute	Specifies that an event is triggered when the specified absolute time of day occurs.
time	Specifies the time interval during which the event must take place.
`time-value`	Integer that specifies, in seconds and optional milliseconds, the time interval during which the event must take place. The range for seconds is from 0 to 4294967295 and the range for milliseconds is from 0 to 999. The format is ssssss[.mmm]. When only milliseconds are specified, use the format 0.mmm.
countdown	Specifies that an event is triggered when the specified time counts down to zero. The timer does not reset.
cron	Specifies that an event is triggered when the CRON string specification matches the current time.
cron-entry	Specifies the first five fields of a UNIX crontab entry as used with the UNIX CRON daemon.
`cron-entry`	Text string that consists of five fields separated by spaces. The fields represent the times and dates when CRON timer events will be triggered. Fields and corresponding values are as follows: `minute` --A number in the range from 0 to 59 that specifies when a CRON timer event is triggered. `hour` --A number in the range from 0 to 23 that specifies when a CRON timer event is triggered. `day-of-month` --A number in the range from 1 to 31 that specifies the day of the month when a CRON timer event is triggered. `month` --A number in the range from 1 to 12 or the first three letters (not case-sensitive) of the name of the month in which a CRON timer event is triggered. `day-of-week` --A number in the range from 0 to 6 (Sunday is 0) or the first three letters (not case-sensitive) of the name of the day when a CRON timer event is triggered. Instead of the first five fields, special strings can be entered. See the “Usage Guidelines” section for details.
watchdog	Specifies that an event is triggered when the specified time counts down to zero. The timer automatically resets to the initial value and continues to count down.
name	(Optional) Specifies that the timer is named.
`timer-name`	(Optional) Name of the timer.
maxrun	(Optional) Specifies the maximum runtime of the applet. If the maxrun keyword is specified, the maxruntime-number value must be specified. If the maxrun keyword is not specified, the default applet run time is 20 seconds.
`maxruntime-number`	(Optional) Number of seconds specified in ssssssss[.mmm] format, where ssssssss must be an integer representing seconds between 0 and 31536000, inclusive, and where mmm must be an integer representing milliseconds between 0 and 999).

Usage Guidelines

For the cron-entry argument, the following special strings also are allowed in syntax:

Range of numbers--The specified range is inclusive, and a hyphen separates the numbers. For example, 8-11 after the hour field specifies execution of a CRON timer event at hours 8, 9, 10, and 11.
Asterisk (*)--Indicates that a field is not specified and can be any value.
List--A list is a set of numbers or ranges separated by a comma but no space. For example, 1,2,5,9 or 0-4,8-12.
Step value in conjunction with a range--Following a range with /number specifies skips of the number value through the range. For example, 0-23/2 in the hour field specifies that an event is triggered every second hour. Steps are permitted after an asterisk, for example */2 means every two hours.

Instead of the five fields of a UNIX crontab entry for the cron-entry argument, one of the following seven special strings can be entered:

@yearly --An event is triggered once a year. This is the equivalent of specifying 0 0 1 1 * for the first five fields.
@annually --Same as @yearly .
@monthly --An event is triggered once a month. This is the equivalent of specifying 0 0 1 * * for the first five fields.
@weekly --An event is triggered once a week. This is the equivalent of specifying 0 0 * * 0 for the first five fields.
@daily --An event is triggered once a day. This is the equivalent of specifying 0 0 * * * for the first five fields.
@midnight --Same as @daily .
@hourly --An event is triggered once an hour. This is the equivalent of specifying 0 * * * * for the first five fields.

A CRON timer may not produce the intended result if the time-of-day clock is not set to the correct time. Network Time Protocol (NTP) services can be used to facilitate keeping an accurate time-of-day clock setting. For more details on NTP configuration, see the “Performing Basic System Management” chapter of the Cisco IOS Network Management Configuration Guide , Release 12.4.

12.2(33)SXI	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXI.

Usage Guidelines

There are two entry variables associated with this command:

_track_number--Number of the tracked object that caused the event to be triggered.
_track_state--State of the tracked object when the event was triggered; valid states are “up” or “down.”

This command is used to help track objects using EEM. Each tracked object is identified by a unique number that is specified on the tracking command-line interface (CLI). Client processes such as EEM use this number to track a specific object. The tracking process periodically polls the tracked objects and notes any change of value. The changes in the tracked object are communicated to interested client processes, either immediately or after a specified delay. The object values are reported as either up or down.

Examples

The following example shows how to specify event criteria based on a tracked object:


event manager applet track-ten
 event track 10 state any
 action 1.0 track set 10 state up
 action 2.0 track read 10
