Writing Embedded Event Manager Policies Using the Cisco IOS CLI
This module describes how to write Embedded Event Manager (EEM) policies using Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) applets to handle Cisco IOS software faults and events. EEM is a distributed and customized approach to event detection and recovery offered directly in a Cisco IOS device. EEM offers the ability to monitor events and take informational, corrective, or any desired action when the monitored events occur or when a threshold is reached. The EEM policy engine receives notifications when faults and other events occur. EEM policies implement recovery on the basis of the current state of the system and the actions specified in the policy for a given event. Recovery actions are triggered when the policy is run.

Prerequisites for Writing EEM Policies Using the Cisco IOS CLI
- Before writing EEM policies, you should be familiar with the concepts explained in the "Embedded Event Manager Overview" module.
- If the action cns-event command is used, access to a Cisco Networking Services (CNS) Event gateway must be configured.
- If the action force-switchover command is used, a secondary processor must be configured on the device.
- If the action snmp-trap command is used, the snmp-server enable traps event-manager command must be enabled to permit SNMP traps to be sent from the Cisco IOS device to the SNMP server. Other relevant snmp-server commands must also be configured; for details see the action snmp-trap command page.

Embedded Event Manager Policies
EEM offers the ability to monitor events and take informational or corrective action when the monitored events occur or a threshold is reached. An EEM policy is an entity that defines an event and the actions to be taken when that event occurs. There are two types of EEM policies: an applet or a script. An applet is a simple form of policy that is defined within the CLI configuration. A script is a form of policy that is written in Tool Command Language (Tcl).
EEM Applet
An EEM applet is a concise method for defining event screening criteria and the actions to be taken when that event occurs. In applet configuration mode, three types of configuration statements are supported. The event commands are used to specify the event criteria to trigger the applet to run, the action commands are used to specify an action to perform when the EEM applet is triggered, and the set command is used to set the value of an EEM applet variable. Currently only the _exit_status variable is supported for the set command.
Only one event configuration command is allowed within an applet configuration. When applet configuration mode is exited and no event command is present, a warning is displayed stating that no event is associated with this applet. If no event is specified, this applet is not considered registered. When no action is associated with this applet, events are still triggered but no actions are performed. Multiple action configuration commands are allowed within an applet configuration. Use the show event manager policy registered command to display a list of registered applets.
Before modifying an EEM applet, be aware that the existing applet is not replaced until you exit applet configuration mode. While you are in applet configuration mode modifying the applet, the existing applet may be executing. It is safe to modify the applet without unregistering it. When you exit applet configuration mode, the old applet is unregistered and the new version is registered.
The action configuration commands are uniquely identified using the label argument, which can be any string value. Actions are sorted in ascending alphanumeric key sequence using the label argument as the sort key, and they are run using this sequence.
The Embedded Event Manager schedules and runs policies on the basis of an event specification that is contained within the policy itself. When applet configuration mode is exited, EEM examines the event and action commands that are entered and registers the applet to be run when a specified event occurs.
EEM Script
Scripts are defined off the networking device using an ASCII editor. The script is then copied to the networking device and registered with EEM. Tcl scripts are supported by EEM.
EEM allows you to write and implement your own policies using Tcl. Writing an EEM policy involves:
- Selecting the event for which the policy is run.
- Defining the event detector options associated with logging and responding to the event.
- Choosing the actions to be followed when the event occurs.
Cisco provides enhancements to Tcl in the form of keyword extensions that facilitate the development of EEM policies. The main categories of keywords identify the detected event, the subsequent action, utility information, counter values, and system information. For more details about writing EEM policies using Tcl, see the "Writing Embedded Event Manager Policies Using Tcl" module.
Embedded Event Manager Built-In Environment Variables Used in EEM Applets
EEM built-in environment variables are a subset of the Cisco-defined environment variables and the built-in variables are available to EEM applets only. The built-in variables can be read-only or can be read and write and these variables may apply to one specific event detector or to all event detectors. The table below lists the Cisco built-in environment variables that are read-only alphabetically by event detector and subevent.

Registering and Defining an Embedded Event Manager Applet
Perform this task to register an applet with Embedded Event Manager and to define the EEM applet using the Cisco IOS CLI event and action commands. Only one event command is allowed in an EEM applet. Multiple action commands are permitted. If no event and no action commands are specified, the applet is removed when you exit configuration mode.
The SNMP event detector and the syslog action commands used in this task are just representing any event detector and action commands. For examples using other event detectors and action commands, see the Embedded Event Manager Applet Configuration Examples.
EEM Environment Variables
EEM environment variables for EEM policies are defined using the EEM event manager environment configuration command. By convention, all Cisco EEM environment variables begin with " _ ". In order to avoid future conflict, customers are urged not to define new variables that start with " _ ".
You can display the EEM environment variables set on your system by using the show event manager environment privileged EXEC command.
For example, you can create EEM policies that can send e-mails when an event occurs. The table below describes the e-mail-specific environment variables that can be used in EEM policies.
| Table 2 | EEM E-mail-Specific Environmental Variables |
| Environment Variable |
Description |
Example |
|---|---|---|
| _email_server |
A Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) mail server used to send e-mail. |
The e-mail server name--Mailservername-- can be in any one of the following template formats: |
| _email_to |
The address to which e-mail is sent. |
engineering@example.com |
| _email_from |
The address from which e-mail is sent. |
devtest@example.com |
| _email_cc |
The address to which the e-mail is copied. |
manager@example.com |
Alphabetical Order of EEM Action Labels
An EEM action label is a unique identifier that can be any string value. Actions are sorted and run in ascending alphanumeric (lexicographical) key sequence using the label as the sort key. If you are using numbers as labels be aware that alphanumerical sorting will sort 10.0 after 1.0, but before 2.0, and in this situation we recommend that you use numbers such as 01.0, 02.0, and so on, or use an initial letter followed by numbers.

Troubleshooting Tips
Use the debug event manager command in privileged EXEC mode to troubleshoot EEM command operations. Use any debugging command with caution as the volume of generated output can slow or stop the router operations. We recommend that this command be used only under the supervision of a Cisco engineer.
Registering and Defining an Embedded Event Manager Policy to Run Manually
There are two ways to manually run an EEM policy. EEM usually schedules and runs policies on the basis of an event specification that is contained within the policy itself. The event none command allows EEM to identify an EEM policy that can be manually triggered. To run the policy, use either the action policy command in applet configuration mode or the event manager run command in privileged EXEC mode.
Perform this task to register an EEM policy to be run manually using the event manager run command. For an example of how to manually run a policy using the action policy command, see the Embedded Event Manager Manual Policy Execution Examples.

Configuring and Tracking a Stub Object Using Embedded Event Manager
Perform this task to create a stub object, set the state of the stub object, and configure an EEM applet to be run when the tracked object changes. Actions are specified within the EEM applet to both set and read the state of the object. This task allows EEM to define an enhanced object tracking (EOT) object that may be manipulated by other EOT clients. An EEM policy can be a trigger for any EOT object including objects defined for other EOT clients or for an object defined by EEM.
Enhanced Object Tracking
Object tracking was first introduced into the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) as a simple tracking mechanism that allowed you to track the interface line-protocol state only. Enhanced object tracking provides complete separation between the objects to be tracked and the action to be taken by a client when a tracked object changes. Thus, several clients such as EEM, VRRP, or GLBP can register their interest with the tracking process, track the same object, and each take different action when the object changes.
Each tracked object is identified by a unique number that is specified on the tracking command-line interface (CLI). Client processes 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.
The EOT event detector publishes an event when the tracked object changes.

Configuring Multiple Event Support
The multiple event support feature adds the ability to register multiple events in the EEM server. The multiple event support involves one or more event occurrences, one or more tracked object states, and a time period for the event to occur. The event parameters are specified in the CLI commands. The data structure to handle multiple events contains multiple event identifiers and correlation logic. This data is used to register multiple events in the EEM Server.
Setting the Event Configuration Parameters
The trigger command enters the trigger applet configuration mode and specifies the multiple event configuration statements for EEM applets. The trigger statement is used to relate multiple event statement using the tag argument specified in each event statement. The events are raised based on the specified parameters.

Configuring EEM Class-Based Scheduling
To schedule Embedded Event Manager (EEM) policies and set policy scheduling options, perform this task. In this task, two EEM execution threads are created to run applets assigned to the default class.
The EEM policies will be assigned a class using the class keyword when they are registered. EEM policies registered without a class will be assigned to the default class. Threads that have default class, will service the default class when the thread is available for work. Threads that are assigned specific class letters will service any policy with a matching class letter when the thread is available for work.
If there is no EEM execution thread available to run the policy in the specified class and a scheduler rule for the class is configured, the policy will wait until a thread of that class is available for execution. Synchronous policies that are triggered from the same input event should be scheduled in the same execution thread.

Configuring EEM Applet (Interactive CLI) Support
The synchronous applets are enhanced to support interaction with the local console (tty) using two commands, action gets and action puts, and these commands allow users to enter and display input directly on the console. The output for synchronous applets will bypass the system logger. The local console will be opened by the applets and serviced by the corresponding synchronous Event Detector pty. Synchronous output will be directed to the opened console.
Reading and Writing Input from the Active Console for Synchronous EEM Applets
Use the following tasks to implement EEM applet interactive CLI support:
Reading Input from the Active Console
When a synchronous policy is triggered, the related console is stored in the publish information specification. The policy director will query this information in an event_reqinfo call, and store the given console information for use by the action gets command.
The action gets command reads a line of the input from the active console and stores the input in the variable. The trailing new line will not be returned.
DETAILED STEPS
| Command or Action | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode. |
|
|
Example: Router# configure terminal |
Enters global configuration mode. |
|
|
Example: Router(config)# event manager applet action |
Registers the applet with the EEM and enters applet configuration mode. |
|
|
Example: Router(config-applet)# event none |
Specifies that an EEM policy is to be registered with the EEM and can be run manually. |
|
|
Example: Router(config-applet)# action label2 gets input |
Gets input from the local console in a synchronous applet and stores the value in the given variable when an EEM applet is triggered. |
|
|
Example: Router(config-applet)# action label3 syslog msg "Input entered was \"$input\"" |
Specifies the action to be taken when an EEM applet is triggered. |
|
|
Example: Router(config-applet)# exit |
Exits applet configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode. |
Example
The following example shows how to get the input from the local tty in a synchronous applet and store the value
Router(config)# event manager applet action Router(config-applet)# event none Router(config-applet)# action label2 gets input
Router(config-applet)# action label3 syslog msg "Input entered was \"$input\""
Writing Input to the Active Console
When a synchronous policy is triggered, the related console is stored in the publish information specification. The policy director will query this information in an event_reqinfo call, and store the given console information for use by the action puts command.
The action puts command will write the string to the active console. A new line will be displayed unless the nonewline keyword is specified. The output from the action puts command for a synchronous applet is displayed directly to the console, bypassing the system logger. The output of the action puts command for an asynchronous applet is directed to the system logger.

Configuring SNMP Library Extensions
- Prerequisites
- SNMP Get and Set Operations
- SNMP Traps and Inform Requests
- Configuring EEM Applet for SNMP Get and Set Operations
- Configuring EEM Applet for SNMP OID Notifications
Prerequisites
To use this feature, you must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.4(22)T or a later release.
SNMP Get and Set Operations
The SNMP Library Extensions feature extends the EEM applet action info and Tcl sys_reqinfo_snmpcommands to include functionality for SNMP get-one, get-next, getid and set-any operations.
SNMP Get Operation
The SNMP event manager performs the SNMP get operation to retrieve one or more variables for the managed objects. Using the action info type snmp oid get-typeand action info type snmp getidcommands, you can configure the SNMP event manager to send an SNMP get request by specifying the variables to retrieve, and the IP address of the agent.
For example, if you want to retrieve the variable with the OID value of 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1, you should specify the variable value, that is 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1. If the specified values do not match, a trap will be generated and an error message will be written to the syslog history.
The action info type snmp oid get-type command specifies the type of the get operation to be performed. To retrieve the exact variable, the get operation type should be specified as exact. To retrieve a lexicographical successor of the specified OID value, the get operation type should be set to next.
The table below shows the built-in variables, in which the values retrieved from SNMP get operation are stored.
| Table 3 | Built-in Variables for action info type snmp oid Command |
| Built-in Variable |
Description |
|---|---|
| _info_snmp_oid |
The SNMP object ID. |
| _info_snmp_value |
The value string of the associated SNMP data element. |
GetID Operation
The action info type snmp getid command retrieves the following variables from the SNMP entity:
The table below shows the built-in variables, in which the values retrieved from the SNMP getID operation are stored.
| Table 4 | Built-in Variables for action info type snmp getid Command |
| Built-in Variable |
Description |
|---|---|
| _info_snmp_syslocation_oid |
The OID value of the sysLocation variable. |
| _info_snmp_syslocation_value |
The value string for the sysLocation variable. |
| _info_snmp_sysdescr_oid |
The OID value of the sysDescr variable. |
| _info_snmp_sysdescr_value |
The value string for the sysDescr variable. |
| _info_snmp_sysobjectid_oid |
The OID value of the sysObjectID variable. |
| _info_snmp_sysobjectid_value |
The value string for the sysObjectID variable. |
| _info_snmp_sysuptime_oid |
The OID value of the sysUptime variable. |
| _info_snmp_sysuptime_value |
The value string for the sysUptime variable. |
| _info_snmp_syscontact_oid |
The OID value of the sysContact variable. |
| _info_snmp_syscontact_value |
The value string for the sysContact variable. |
The get operation requests can be sent to both local and remote hosts.
SNMP Set Operation
All SNMP variables are assigned a default value in the MIB view. The SNMP event manager can modify the value of these MIB variables through set operation. The set operation can be performed only on the system that allows read-write access.
To perform a set operation, you must specify the type of the variable and the value associated with it.
The table below shows the valid OID types and values for each OID type.
| Table 5 | OID Type and Value for Set Operation |
| OID Type |
Description |
|---|---|
| counter32 |
A 32-bit number with a minimum value of 0. When the maximum value is reached, the counter resets to 0. Integer value in the range from 0 to 4294967295 is valid. |
| gauge |
A 32-bit number with a minimum value of 0. For example, the interface speed on a router is measured using a gauge object type. Integer value in the range from 0 to 4294967295 is valid. |
| integer |
A 32-bit number used to specify a numbered type within the context of a managed object. For example, to set the operational status of a router interface, 1 represents up and 2 represents down. Integer value in the range from 0 to 4294967295 is valid. |
| ipv4 |
IP version 4 address. IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation is valid. |
| octet string |
An octet string in hexadecimal notation used to represent physical addresses. Text strings are valid. |
| string |
An octet string in text notation used to represent text strings. Text strings are valid. |
| unsigned32 |
A 32-bit number used to represent decimal value.Unsigned integer value in the range from 0 to 4294967295 is valid. |
The set operation can carried out on both local and remote hosts.
SNMP Traps and Inform Requests
Traps are SNMP notifications that alert the SNMP manager or the NMS to a network condition.
SNMP inform requests refer to the SNMP notifications that alert the SNMP manager to a network condition and request for confirmation of receipt from the SNMP manager.
An SNMP event occurs when SNMP MIB object ID values are sampled, or when the SNMP counter crosses a defined threshold. If the notifications are enabled and configured for such events, the SNMP traps or inform messages generated. An SNMP notification event is triggered when an SNMP trap or inform message is received by the event manager server.
To send an SNMP trap or inform message when an Embedded Event Manager (EEM) applet is triggered, the action info type snmp trap and action info type snmp informcommands are used. The CISCO-EMBEDDED-EVENT-MGR-MIB.my is used to define the trap and inform messages.
Configuring EEM Applet for SNMP Get and Set Operations
While registering a policy with the event manager server, the actions associated with an SNMP event can be configured.
Perform this task to configure EEM applet for SNMP set and get operations.
- SNMP event manager must be configured using the snmp-server managercommand.
- The SNMP community string should be set by using the snmp-server community command to enable access to the SNMP entity.

Configuring Variable Logic for EEM Applets
The Variable Logic for EEM Applets feature adds the ability to apply conditional logic within EEM applets. Before variable logic is introduced, applets have a linear structure where each action is executed in the order in which they are configured when the event is triggered. Conditional logic introduces a control structure that can change the flow of actions within applets depending on conditional expressions. Each control structure can contain a list of applet actions including looping and if/else actions which determine if the structure is executed or not.
The information in applet configuration mode is presented as background to set the context for the action commands.
To provide a consistent user interface between the Tool Command Language (Tcl) and the applet (CLI) based EEM policies, the following criteria are followed:
- Event specification criteria are written in Tcl in the Tcl based implementation.
- Event specification data is written using the CLI applet submode configuration statements in the applet-based implementation.
Applet configuration mode is entered using the event manager applet command. In applet configuration mode the config prompt changes to (config-applet)#. In applet configuration mode two types of config statements are supported:
- event - used to specify the event criteria to cause this applet to run.
- action - used to specify a built-in action to perform.
Multiple action applet config commands are allowed within an applet configuration. If no action applet config command is present, a warning is displayed, upon exit, stating no statements are associated with this applet. When no statements are associated with this applet, events get triggered but no action is taken. If no commands are specified in applet configuration mode, the applet will be removed upon exit. The exit applet config command is used to exit from applet configuration mode.
- Prerequisites
- Configuring Variable Logic for EEM Applets
- Specifying a Loop of Conditional Blocks
- Specifying if else Conditional Blocks
- Specifying foreach Iterating Statements
- Using Regular Expressions
- Incrementing the Values of Variables
Prerequisites
To use this feature, you must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.4(22)T or a later release.
Configuring Variable Logic for EEM Applets
EEM 3.0 adds new applet action commands to permit simple variable logic within applets.
To configure the variable logic using action commands perform the followng tasks.
Specifying a Loop of Conditional Blocks
To specify a loop of a conditional block when an EEM applet is triggered, perform this task. In this task, a conditional loop is set to check if the value of the variable is less than 10. If the value of the variable is less than 10, then the message 'i is $_i' is written to the syslog.
 Note |
Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(22)T, the set (EEM) command is replaced by the action setcommand. See the action label set command for more information. If the set (EEM) command is entered in 12.4(22)T and later releases, the IOS parser translates the set command to the action label set command. |

Embedded Event Manager Applet Configuration Examples
The following examples show how to create an EEM applet for some of the EEM event detectors. These examples follow steps outlined in the Registering and Defining an Embedded Event Manager Applet.
Application-Specific Event Detector
The following example shows how a policy named EventPublish_A runs every 20 seconds and publishes an event type numbered 1 to an EEM subsystem numbered 798. The subsystem value of 798 specifies that a publish event has occurred from an EEM policy. A second policy named EventPublish_B is registered to run when the EEM event type 1 occurs with subsystem 798. When the EventPublish_B policy runs, it sends a message to syslog containing data passed as an argument from the EventPublish_A policy.
event manager applet EventPublish_A event timer watchdog time 20.0 action 1.0 syslog msg "Applet EventPublish_A" action 2.0 publish-event sub-system 798 type 1 arg1 twenty exit event manager applet EventPublish_B event application sub-system 798 type 1 action 1.0 syslog msg "Applet EventPublish_B arg1 $_application_data1"
CLI Event Detector
The following example shows how to specify an EEM applet to run when the Cisco IOS write memory CLI command is run. The applet provides a notification that this event has occurred via a syslog message. In the example, the sync keyword is configured with the yes argument, and this means that the event detector is notified when this policy completes running. The exit status of the policy determines whether the CLI command will be executed. In this example, the policy exit status is set to one and the CLI command runs.
event manager applet cli-match event cli pattern "write mem.*" sync yes action 1.0 syslog msg "$_cli_msg Command Executed" set 2.0 _exit_status 1
The following example shows an applet which matches the cli pattern with the test argument. When show access-list test is entered, the CLI event detector matches the test argument, and the applet is triggered. The debug event manager detector cli output is added to show num_matches is set to one.
! event manager applet EEM-PIPE-TEST event cli pattern "test" sync yes action 1.0 syslog msg "Pattern matched!" ! *Aug 23 23:19:59.827: check_eem_cli_policy_handler: command_string=show access-lists test *Aug 23 23:19:59.827: check_eem_cli_policy_handler: num_matches = 1, response_code = 4 *Aug 23 23:19:59.843: %HA_EM-6-LOG: EEM-PIPE-TEST: Pattern matched!
Note |
The functionality provided in the CLI event detector only allows a regular expression pattern match on a valid IOS CLI command itself. This does not include text after a pipe (|) character when redirection is used. |
The following example shows that when show version | include test is entered, the applet fails to trigger because the CLI event detector does not match on characters entered after the pipe (|) character and the debug event manager detector cli output shows num_matches is set to zero.
*Aug 23 23:20:16.827: check_eem_cli_policy_handler: command_string=show version *Aug 23 23:20:16.827: check_eem_cli_policy_handler: num_matches = 0, response_code = 1
Counter Event Detector and Timer Event Detector
The following example shows that the EventCounter_A policy is configured to run once a minute and to increment a well-known counter called critical_errors. A second policy--EventCounter_B--is registered to be triggered when the well-known counter called critical_errors exceeds a threshold of 3. When the EventCounter_B policy runs, it resets the counter to 0.
event manager applet EventCounter_A event timer watchdog time 60.0 action 1.0 syslog msg "EventCounter_A" action 2.0 counter name critical_errors op inc value 1 exit event manager applet EventCounter_B event counter name critical_errors entry-op gt entry-val 3 exit-op lt exit-val 3 action 1.0 syslog msg "EventCounter_B" action 2.0 counter name critical_errors op set value 0
Interface Counter Event Detector
The following example shows how a policy named EventInterface is triggered every time the receive_throttle counter for Fast Ethernet interface 0/0 is incremented by 5. The polling interval to check the counter is specified to run once every 90 seconds.
event manager applet EventInterface event interface name FastEthernet0/0 parameter receive_throttle entry-op ge entry-val 5 entry-val-is-increment true poll-interval 90 action 1.0 syslog msg "Applet EventInterface"
Resource Event Detector
The following example shows how to specify event criteria based on an ERM event report for a policy defined to report high CPU usage:
event manager applet policy-one event resource policy cpu-high action 1.0 syslog msg "CPU high at $_resource_current_value percent"
RF Event Detector
The RF event detector is only available on networking devices that contain dual Route Processors (RPs). The following example shows how to specify event criteria based on an RF state change notification:
event manager applet start-rf event rf event rf_prog_initialization action 1.0 syslog msg "rf state rf_prog_initialization reached"
RPC Event Detector
The RPC event detector allows an outside entity to make a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) request to the router or a switch and invokes a defined EEM policy or script. The following example shows how an EEM applet called Event_RPC is being registered to run an EEM script:
event manager applet Event_RPC event rpc action print puts "hello there"
The following example shows the format of the SOAP request and reply message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://www.cisco.com/eem.xsd">
<SOAP:Body>
<run_eemscript>
<script_name>Event_RPC</script_name>
</run_eemscript>
</SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>
]]>]]>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://www.cisco.com/eem.xsd"><SOAP:Body><run_eemscript_response><return_code>0</return_code><output></output></run_eemscript_response></SOAP:Body></SOAP:Envelope>]]>]]>
SNMP Event Detector
The following example shows how to specify an EEM applet to run when the CPU usage is greater than 75 percent. When the EEM applet runs, the CLI commands enable and show cpu processes are run, and an e-mail containing the result of the show cpu processes command is sent to an engineer.
event manager applet snmpcpuge75 event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3.1 get-type exact entry-op ge entry-val 75 poll-interval 10 action 1.0 cli command "enable" action 2.0 cli command "show process cpu" action 3.0 mail server "192.168.1.146" to "engineer@cisco.com" from "devtest@cisco.com" subject "B25 PBX Alert" body "$_cli_result"
The next example is more complex and shows how to configure an EEM applet that causes a switch to the secondary (redundant) Route Processor (RP) when the primary RP runs low on memory.
This example illustrates a method for taking preventative action against a software fault that causes a memory leak. The action taken here is designed to reduce downtime by switching over to a redundant RP when a possible memory leak is detected.
The figure below shows a dual RP router that is running an EEM image. An EEM applet has been registered through the CLI using the event manager applet command. The applet will run when the available memory on the primary RP falls below the specified threshold of 5,120,000 bytes. The applet actions are to write a message to syslog that indicates the number of bytes of memory available and to switch to the secondary RP.
| Figure 1 | Dual RP Topology |
The commands used to register the policy are shown below.
event manager applet memory-demo 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 90 action 1.0 syslog priority critical msg "Memory exhausted; current available memory is $_snmp_oid_val bytes" action 2.0 force-switchover
The registered applet is displayed using the show event manager policy registered command:
Router# show event manager policy registered
No. Type Event Type Time Registered Name
1 applet snmp Thu Jan30 05:57:16 2003 memory-demo
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 90
action 1.0 syslog priority critical msg "Memory exhausted; current available memory is
$_snmp_oid_val bytes"
action 2.0 force-switchover
For the purpose of this example, a memory depletion is forced on the router, and a series of show memory commands are executed to watch the memory deplete:
Router# show memory Head Total(b) Used(b) Free(b) Lowest(b) Largest(b) Processor 53585260 212348444 119523060 92825384 92825384 92365916 Fast 53565260 131080 70360 60720 60720 60668 Router# show memory Head Total(b) Used(b) Free(b) Lowest(b) Largest(b) Processor 53585260 212364664 164509492 47855172 47855172 47169340 Fast 53565260 131080 70360 60720 60720 60668 Router# show memory Head Total(b) Used(b) Free(b) Lowest(b) Largest(b) Processor 53585260 212369492 179488300 32881192 32881192 32127556 Fast 53565260 131080 70360 60720 60720 60668
When the threshold is reached, an EEM event is triggered. The applet named memory-demo runs, causing a syslog message to be written to the console and a switch to be made to the secondary RP. The following messages are logged:
00:08:31: %HA_EM-2-LOG: memory-demo: Memory exhausted; current available memory is 4484196 bytes 00:08:31: %HA_EM-6-FMS_SWITCH_HARDWARE: fh_io_msg: Policy has requested a hardware switchover
The following is partial output from the show running-config command on both the primary RP and the secondary (redundant) RP:
redundancy mode sso . . ! event manager applet memory-demo 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 90 action 1.0 syslog priority critical msg "Memory exhausted; current available memory is $_snmp_oid_val bytes" action 2.0 force-switchover
SNMP Notification Event Detector
The following example shows how to configure the snmp-server community public RW and snmp-server manager commands before event snmp-notification is configured.
snmp-server community public RW snmp-server manager
The following example shows how an EEM applet called SNMP_Notification is being registered to run an EEM script when the router receives an SNMP notification on destination IP address 192.168.1.1 for object ID 1 whose value equals 10.
event manager applet SNMP_Notification event snmp-notification dest_ip_address 192.168.1.1 oid 1 op eq oid-value 10 action 1 policy eem_script
Syslog Event Detector
The following example shows how to specify an EEM applet to run when syslog identifies that Ethernet interface 1/0 is down. The applet sends a message about the interface to syslog.
event manager applet interface-down event syslog pattern ".*UPDOWN.*Ethernet1/0.*" occurs 4 action 1.0 syslog msg "Ethernet interface 1/0 changed state 4 times"
Configuration Examples for Embedded Event Manager Applet
- Example Identity Event Detector
- Example MAT Event Detector
- Example Neighbor-Discovery Event Detector
Example Identity Event Detector
The following example shows how a policy named "EventIdentity" is triggered every time the authentication on the Fast Ethernet interface 0 is success.
event manager applet EventIdentity event identity interface FastEthernet0 authc success action 1.0 syslog msg "Applet EventIdentity"
Example MAT Event Detector
The following example shows how a policy named "EventMat" is triggered every time a mac-address is learned in the mac-address-table.
event manager applet EventMat event mat interface FastEthernet0 action 1.0 syslog msg "Applet EventMat"
Example Neighbor-Discovery Event Detector
The following example shows how a policy named "EventNeighbor" is triggered when a Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) cache entry changes.
event manager applet EventNeighbor event neighbor-discovery interface FastEthernet0 cdp all action 1.0 syslog msg "Applet EventNeighbor"
Embedded Event Manager Manual Policy Execution Examples
The following examples show how to use the none event detector to configure an EEM policy (applet or script) to be run manually.
Using the event manager run Command
This example shows how to run a policy manually using the event manager run command. The policy is registered using the event none command under applet configuration mode and then run from global configuration mode using the event manager run command.
event manager applet manual-policy event none action 1.0 syslog msg "Manual-policy triggered" end ! event manager run manual-policy
Using the action policy Command
This example shows how to run a policy manually using the action policy command. The policy is registered using the event none command under applet configuration mode, and then the policy is executed using the action policy command in applet configuration mode.
event manager applet manual-policy event none action 1.0 syslog msg "Manual-policy triggered" exit ! event manager applet manual-policy-two event none action 1.0 policy manual-policy end ! event manager run manual-policy-two
Configuring and Tracking a Stub Object Using Embedded Event Manager Example
This example shows how to create a stub object, set the state of the stub object, and configure an EEM applet to be run when the tracked object changes. The enhanced object tracking (EOT) event detector is used, and actions are specified to both set and read the state of the object. This example allows EEM to define an EOT object that may be manipulated by other EOT clients. An EEM policy can be a trigger for any EOT object including objects defined for other EOT clients or for an object defined by EEM.
track 10 stub-object default-state down ! event manager applet track-ten event track 10 state any action 1.0 track set 10 state up action 2.0 track read 10
Embedded Event Manager Watchdog System Monitor (Cisco IOS) Event Detector Configuration Example
The following example shows how to configure three EEM applets to demonstrate how the Cisco IOS watchdog system monitor (IOSWDSysMon) event detector works.
Watchdog System Monitor Sample1 Policy
The first policy triggers an applet when the average CPU usage for the process named IP Input is greater than or equal to 1 percent for 10 seconds:
event manager applet IOSWD_Sample1 event ioswdsysmon sub1 cpu-proc taskname "IP Input" op ge val 1 period 10 action 1.0 syslog msg "IOSWD_Sample1 Policy Triggered"
Watchdog System Monitor Sample2 Policy
The second policy triggers an applet when the total amount of memory used by the process named Net Input is greater than 100 kb:
event manager applet IOSWD_Sample2 event ioswdsysmon sub1 mem-proc taskname "Net Input" op gt val 100 is-percent false action 1.0 syslog msg "IOSWD_Sample2 Policy Triggered"
Watchdog System Monitor Sample3 Policy
The third policy triggers an applet when the total amount of memory used by the process named IP RIB Update has increased by more than 50 percent over the sample period of 60 seconds:
event manager applet IOSWD_Sample3 event ioswdsysmon sub1 mem-proc taskname "IP RIB Update" op gt val 50 is-percent true period 60 action 1.0 syslog msg "IOSWD_Sample3 Policy Triggered"
The three policies are configured, and then repetitive large pings are made to the networking device from several workstations, causing the networking device to register some usage. This will trigger policies 1 and 2, and the console will display the following messages:
00:42:23: %HA_EM-6-LOG: IOSWD_Sample1: IOSWD_Sample1 Policy Triggered 00:42:47: %HA_EM-6-LOG: IOSWD_Sample2: IOSWD_Sample2 Policy Triggered
To view the policies that are registered, use the show event manager policy registered command:
Router# show event manager policy registered
No. Class Type Event Type Trap Time Registered Name
1 applet system ioswdsysmon Off Fri Jul 23 02:27:28 2004 IOSWD_Sample1

Configuring Variable Logic for EEM Applets Examples
The following sections provide examples on some selected action commands. For information on all the action commands supporting variable logic within applets, see the table below.
In this example, conditional loops while, if and foreach are used to print data. Other action commands such as action divide, action increment and action puts are used to define the actions to be performed when the conditions are met.
event manager applet printdata
event none
action 100 set colors "red green blue"
action 101 set shapes "square triangle rectange"
action 102 set i "1"
action 103 while $i lt 6
action 104 divide $i 2
action 105 if $_remainder eq 1
action 106 foreach _iterator "$colors"
action 107 puts nonewline "$_iterator "
action 108 end
action 109 puts ""
action 110 else
action 111 foreach _iterator "$shapes"
action 112 puts nonewline "$_iterator "
action 113 end
action 114 puts ""
action 115 end
action 116 increment i
action 117 end
When the event manager applet ex is run, the following output is obtained:
event manager run printdata
red green blue
square triangle rectange
red green blue
square triangle rectange
red green blue
In this example, two environment variables poll_interface and max_rx_rate are set to F0/0 and 3 respectively. Every 30 seconds there is a poll on an interface for rx rate. If the rx rate is greater than the threshold, a syslog message is displayed.
This applet makes use of the foreach conditional statement to poll the interface, the if conditional block to compare the value under RXPS with max_rx_rate that was set in the EEM environment variable.
event manager environment poll_interfaces F0/0
event manager environment max_rx_rate 3
ev man app check_rx_rate
ev timer watchdog name rx_timer time 30
action 100 foreach int $poll_interfaces
action 101 cli command "en"
action 102 cli command "show int $int summ | beg ------"
action 103 foreach line $_cli_result "\n"
action 105 regexp ".*[0-9]+\s+[0-9]+\s+[0-9]+\s+[0-9]+\s+[0-9]+\s+([0-9]+)\s+.*" $line junk rxps
action 106 if $_regexp_result eq 1
action 107 if $rxps gt $max_rx_rate
action 108 syslog msg "Warning rx rate for $int is > than threshold. Current value is $rxps (threshold is $max_rx_rate)"
action 109 end
action 110 end
action 111 end
action 112 end
Example syslog message:
Oct 16 09:29:26.153: %HA_EM-6-LOG: c: Warning rx rate for F0/0 is > than threshold. Current value is 4 (threshold is 3)
The output of show int F0/0 summ is of the format:
#show int f0/0 summ
*: interface is up
IHQ: pkts in input hold queue IQD: pkts dropped from input queue
OHQ: pkts in output hold queue OQD: pkts dropped from output queue
RXBS: rx rate (bits/sec) RXPS: rx rate (pkts/sec)
TXBS: tx rate (bits/sec) TXPS: tx rate (pkts/sec)
TRTL: throttle count
