EEM script doesnt seem to work

Hi experts,

I have set up  a small script to monitor BGP peering and to failover the HSRP based on the syslog etc. What I noticed is that the event gets triggered but it doesn't make the necessary changes. What I want is to change the HSRP priority upon a BGP peering failure. Below is the script. Can someone please help whats missing here. I have this script on a 3800 series router

 

Cisco IOS Software, 3800 Software (C3845-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(25b), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
System image file is "flash:c3845-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25b.bin"

 

 

event manager applet eBGP-DOWN
 event syslog pattern "%BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 192.168.1.1 Down Peer closed the session"
 action 1.0 syslog priority critical msg "EEM reconfiguring router for HSRP priority of 90 as BGP neighbour is down"
 action 2.0 cli command "enable"
 action 3.0 cli command "config t"
 action 4.0 cli command "interface gi0/0"
 action 5.0 cli command "standby 1 priority 90"
event manager applet eBGP-UP
 event syslog pattern "%BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 192.168.1.1 Up"
 action 1.0 syslog priority critical msg "EEM reconfiguring router for HSRP priority of 140 as BGP neighbour is up"
 action 2.0 cli command "enable"
 action 3.0 cli command "config t"
 action 4.0 cli command "interface gi0/0"
 action 5.0 cli command "standby 1 priority 140"
event manager applet eBGP-MANUAL-DOWN
 event syslog pattern "%BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 192.168.1.1 Down Admin. shutdown"
 action 1.0 syslog priority critical msg "EEM reconfiguring router for HSRP priority of 90 as BGP neighbour is down"
 action 2.0 cli command "enable"
 action 3.0 cli command "config t"
 action 4.0 cli command "interface gi0/0"
 action 5.0 cli command "standby 1 priority 90"
!
end

 

router#sh log | i BGP

If you are using AAA command authorization, you will also need to configure:

 

event manager session cli username USER

 

Where USER is a username authorized to run all of these CLI commands.

Thanks a lot Joe. Will try this and get back to you
