i was wondering why it will show the first ping but not the second ping

[MonkeyBear007]

no event manager applet ping_5_min
event manager applet ping_5_min
event none
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 syslog msg "ping 1.1.1.1"
action 1.1.1 cli command "ping vrf mgt 1.1.1.1"
action 1.1.5 syslog msg "$_cli_result"
action 1.1.6 wait 2
action 1.2.1 syslog msg "part 2 starting"
action 1.2.2 syslog msg "ping 1.1.1.2"
action 2.2.3 cli command "ping vrf mgt 1.1.1.2"
action 2.2.3.2 wait 2
action 2.2.4 syslog msg "$_cli_result"
action 2.2.6 syslog msg "Done"

EEM policies have a 20 second maximum runtime by default.  If the pings fail, the applet will abort before it can get to action 2.2.4.  You'll need to increase the maxrun value to something like 45 seconds.

[MonkeyBear007]

when i looked at example you put it in event but my event is none?

How would I define the maxrun?

[Joe Clarke]

event none maxrun 45

[MonkeyBear007]

Thank you that works

I'm trying to do the same thing in loop but it's not working

Can you tell me why?

no event manager applet pinglist
event manager applet pinglist
event none maxrun 45
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 set i 1
action 2.5 syslog msg "%i"
action 3.0 while $i lt 255
action 4.0 set var 1.1.1.
action 5.0 append var $i
action 5.5 put %var
action 6.0 cli command "ping vrf mgt $var"
action 9.0 append results $_cli_result
action 9.1 syslog msg "$results"
action 9.2 end
action 9.3 end

[Joe Clarke]

Two things. One, replace ‘%’ with ‘$’. And two, you don’t have an action to increment $i.

[MonkeyBear007]

After 1.1.1.6 it slow down a lot and feels like it's stuck and doesn't do anything.

Do you know what it might be?

Now you’re pinging 10 hosts. You need to increase maxrun. Probably best to put it to 300 now.

[MonkeyBear007]

I figure out it was the time but now i'm stuck at running every 5 min and increase the maxrun
not sure what is the correct of telling it run every 5 min and it need to do /24

csr1000v-1#event manager run pinglist

[MonkeyBear007]

Do you know why it does like this command?

EEM policy pinglist not registered with event none Event Detector

event timer watchdog time 300 maxrun 300 name test

[Joe Clarke]

You can only run policies via "event manager run" if it uses the "none" event detector.  You've now configured it to be timed, so you can't run it manually unless you add multi-event detector support.

That said, I don't think this is the right solution for what you want to do.  To ping 254 hosts (assuming half of them won't respond) you're looking at potentially over a five-minute runtime.  I don't know why you'd need to ping this whole subnet every five minutes, but you should at least consider using the "repeat" and "timeout" keywords to ping and only sending one ping to each address and only waiting one second for a timeout.  That would max out at 254 seconds assuming every host is unreachable.

[MonkeyBear007]

it runs every 5 min and it it stop at under 5 min.

i don't need to run it manual and that is why i get the error

Do you have advice how it should be running router.
how the script run in permission? 

[Joe Clarke]

Like I said in the other reply, I wouldn't do this every five minutes.  But if you had to, I gave some advice.  I don't understand the question about permission.

[MonkeyBear007]

This is where it get stuck
