EEM periodically is not working

[franco.riggio@la.logicalis.com]

I need to execute a command periodically, using EEM. To test it, I just want to turn off and interface periodically each 1 second. To do it, I did the following:

event manager applet BKP
event timer watchdog time 1000
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "conf t"
action 3.0 cli command "int gig0/0"
action 4.0 cli command "shut"
action 5.0 cli command "end"

When I write it by console, it doesn't work. I have seen the name of the interface exists in the switch. What can I do?

Thanks

1 second is too Low, why you want to shutdown every 1 seconds, why not shutdown (instead of shutdown every 1 sec?) what is the use case.

what device is this ? what code running ? what you see the Logs ?

Hello,

the watchdog timer is in seconds. 1000 means 1000 seconds.

If you want to test if it works, better configure 'event none' and run the applet manually:

event manager applet BKP
event none
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "conf t"
action 3.0 cli command "int gig0/0"
action 4.0 cli command "shut"
action 5.0 cli command "end"

Device#event manager run BKP
