EEM Event Track Question

[marcusbrutus]

Hi Experts,

I have the below EEM configured.

No.  Class   Type    Event Type          Trap  Time Registered           Name
1    applet  user    track               Off   Mon Sep 8 20:33:19 2014   test
 track 1 state down
 maxrun 10.000
 action 1.0 snmp-trap strdata "TRACK 1 DoWN DETECTED"

My question is:

- Do I need to set the applet to: event manager applet test trap?  Do I need this so the trap action would work?

- When the tracked object goes down, will the EEM app continue to generate traps during certain intervals until the tracked object is down?  Or will it generate only one trap on the first occurrence the object goes down?

Thanks in advance.

1. No.  Just make sure "snmp-server enable traps event-manager" is configured.

2. It will only generate the trap when the object first goes down.  It will not generate the trap again until the object comes back up and goes down again.
