Creating fake alarm on Nexus

[ICANG]

Hi all,

Is there any way to create a fake alarm by alarm severity on Nexus9k which can be seen on the output of "sh logging".

Something like;
2020 Jul 23 00:44:31 ROUTER %TEST-2-TEST

Hi

What's the goal behind that?
You can use an event manager with action syslog for example.

Hi Francesco,

My goal behind that is to double check to system which catch only specifics level of alarms and sends e-mail.

Thank you

Hi @ICANG 

N9K-2# sh run eem

event manager applet generate_syslog
  event cli match "show run"
  action 1 syslog priority critical msg TestTestTest
  action 2 event-default

N9K-2# show run | head lines 1
2020 Jul 23 07:19:30 N9K-2 %EEM_ACTION-2-CRIT: TestTestTest 

Stay safe,
