Configuring EEM to track down interface status

[nellkoni]

Hello everyone,

I was studying EEM recently and I faced a problem

I know it's possible to configure multiple event on EEM.

But was wondering down below is possible as well.

What I am trying to configure is "Tracking down Interface's Up/Down"

When the certain interface goes up or down, EEM triggers the syslog msg whether the interface is up or down.

Commands I have been working.

track 1 interface FastEthernet0/1 line-protocol

event manager applet TEST

 event syslog pattern "%TRACKING-5-STATE: 1"

 action 1.0 syslog msg "INTERFACE EVENT OCCUR"

 action 2.0 track read 1

 action 2.1 regexp "%TRACKING-5-STATE: 1" "Up->Down"

 action 2.2 syslog msg "INTERFACE DOWN"

 action 3.0 else

 action 4.0 track read 1

 action 4.1 regexp "%TRACKING-5-STATE: 1" "Down->UP

 action 4.2 syslog msg "INTERFACE UP

I think I got the whole concept of EEM wrong but I was trying to figure it out.

I spent hours and hours and yet it's not working :(

since there is no if, action 3.0 else will not work

here is the example for if
