Multiple commands in one line

kaellsworth74 — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 16:31:59 GMT

I am trying to create an output file and save it to flash. Here is what I want:

show log | i DECTK

But I want to redirect the results to a text file in flash. I realize I can use the redirect command, but I can only do that with the entire log. I only want specific log that I created using EEM. I also can't use the include and redirect command at the same time. Is there a way I can accomplish this?

just test as below :

event manager applet logtest authorization bypass
event none
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 set logcmd01 "show logging | in BULK"
action 1.2 cli command "$logcmd01"
action 1.3 file open lf flash:error.txt w
action 1.4 file write lf "$_cli_result"
action 1.5 file close lf
!

#event manager run logtest

I am having issues with the line "action 1.4 file write lf "$_cli_result"". My IOS isn't liking that variable.

can you share EEM you used?

Re: Multiple commands in one line

kaellsworth74 — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 18:38:17 GMT

event manager applet report authorization bypass

At the action "1.4 file write lf "$_cli_result"" line, I get an "Incomplete command" when I hit enter. I've tried working with that line but can't get anything to work.

can you post show version from your device and model.

instead of pasting, type the syntax with? what option you get ?

It's a Cisco 3925 router with version 15.7(3)M8.

After I type "action 1.4 file write lf" and hit the ? I have 1 option which is "WORD string data to write test".

Re: Multiple commands in one line

balaji.bandi — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 21:21:55 GMT

i just tested on 15.2 IOS code as below :

WAN-DMZ(config-applet)#action 1.4 file write lf ?
WORD string data to write test

WAN-DMZ(config-applet)#action 1.4 file write lf "$_cli_result" ?
WORD 1 to 4294967295, or $variable
<cr>

WAN-DMZ(config-applet)#action 1.4 file write lf "$_cli_result"

Re: Multiple commands in one line

kaellsworth74 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 14:49:34 GMT

My result:

HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.4 file write lf $_cli_result

% Incomplete command

HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.4 file write lf $_cli_result ?

WORD 1 to 4294967295, or $variable

It won't accept that line unless I put something after $_cli_result, but anything I put after it is what gets written to the report.txt file. After I do a show run, this is what the configs look like:

event manager applet report authorization bypass

event none

action 1.0 cli command "enable"

action 1.1 set logcmd01 "show log | in DECTK"

action 1.2 cli command ""

action 1.3 file open lf report.txt w

action 1.4 file write lf "TEST"

action 1.5 file close lf

It doesn't seem to be creating the $logcmd01 variable. Isn't there a command to enable the use of Linux commands in the IOS? Maybe I need to do that first.

Re: Multiple commands in one line

kaellsworth74 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 16:18:17 GMT

It was the "shell processing full" command, but that didn't work. Is there any other way to accomplish what I am trying to do, because this way doesn't seem to be working for me.

Re: Multiple commands in one line

balaji.bandi — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 18:36:37 GMT

HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.4 file write lf "$_cli_result" <-- i seee the Quotes missing here

i would suggest to paster each line to see any errors.

Re: Multiple commands in one line

kaellsworth74 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 19:00:17 GMT

I tried it with the quotes.

Results without quotes:
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.4 file write lf $_cli_result
% Incomplete command

Results with quotes:
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.4 file write lf "$_cli_result"
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Here are all the ways I have tried:

HOSTNAME(config)# event manager applet report authorization bypass
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# event none
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.0 cli command "enable"
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.1 set logcmd01 "show log | in DECTK"
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.2 cli command "$logcmd01"
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.3 file open fh report.txt w
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.4 file write fh $_cli_result
% Incomplete command

HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.4 file write fh $_cli_result ?
  WORD  1 to 4294967295, or $variable
  <cr>  <cr>


HOSTNAME(config)# event manager applet report authorization bypass
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# event none
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.0 cli command "enable"
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.1 set logcmd01 "show log | in DECTK"
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.2 cli command "$logcmd01"
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.3 file open fh report.txt w
HOSTNAME(config-applet)# action 1.4 file write fh "$_cli_result"
                                                   ^

I have virtual router with Version 15.7(3)M3 - it works as expected.

can you post :

#show event manager ver

Let me think any other ways like TCP script can help you.

Re: Multiple commands in one line

I figured out my issue. In order to use the variable correctly, I needed to put either single quotes around the variable, or a back slash in front of it.

event manager applet 999_A trap authorization bypass
 event track 999 state up
 action 1.0 cli command "enable"
 action 1.1 syslog priority warnings msg ",DECTK Kit,DG4_ECK_03,is online."
 action 1.2 file open fh flash:report.txt a+
 action 1.3 file write fh "\$_event_pub_time,DECTK Kit,DG4_ECK_03,is online."
 action 1.4 file close fh

event manager applet 999_B trap authorization bypass
 event track 999 state down
 action 1.0 cli command "enable"
 action 1.1 syslog priority warnings msg ",DECTK Kit,DG4_ECK_03,is offline."
 action 1.2 file open fh flash:report.txt a+
 action 1.3 file write fh "\$_event_pub_time,DECTK Kit,DG4_ECK_03,is offline."
 action 1.4 file close fh

My final script. It works just as I want it to. Thanks for your guidance.
