EEM Applet - Interface bandwidth utilization

[Harshad Patil]

We are planning to get syslog or snmp alert for bandwidth utilization of Uplinks by EEM applet, can any bdy help me on that?

We managed to get alert for input traffic but we are not able to get alert for total bandwidth utilization ( input + output ).

What version of IOS is this for?  Does your solution need to be an applet?

[Harshad Patil]

Is this possible in applet?

We are using PRTG software to monitor bandwidth utilization.

But we want to get an alert if uplink BW utlization reaches upto perticular threshold.

We have Cisco 6509 V12.2(17r)SX6, but before using it in production, i am trying to simulate it in GNS3.

That is not an IOS version, but a boot code version.  Depending on your IOS version, you may be able to do this with applets and multiple events.  However, it's looking like you'll need Tcl for this.

This is possible with an EEM applet.  I have done it on G1 ISRs with 15.1.  The applet is here:

I usually run 12.4 on 3745s in GNS3 and they do not have the action set to do variable manipulation, so I am guessing that this is a newer feature, although I could not find what minimum version you would need on a quick search.
