Introduction:

The EEM(Embedded Event manager is a software component of cisco IOS, XR, and NX-OS makes life easier for administrators by tracking and classifying events that take place on a router and providing notification options for those events. EEM allows you to automate tasks, perform minor enhancements and create workarounds.


There are two independent pieces: Applets and Scripting
-> Applets are a collection of CLI commands
-> Scripts are actions coded up in TCL(interpreter language)

EEM uses event detectors and actions to provide notifications of those events:

EEM detectors can be:
1) SNMP:-Monitoring SNMP objects.
2) Syslog:-Responds to various syslog messages, allowing for matching on regular expressions.
3) Counter: Monitoring and responding to interface counter when cross threshold settings.
4) CLI events: Screening CLI input for a regular expression match.
5) None: This event detector is use to test EEM script/applet using "event manager run" command.
6) Timers :(Countdown, watchdog and CRON)
7) IP SLA and Netflows events.

 

Common regular expressions:

^  =  Start of string

$  =  End of string

.   =  Any single character

*  =  Zero or more instances

+ =  One or more instance

?  =  Zero or one instance

 

EEM Actions can be:


1)Sending a email messages
2)Executing a cisco command.
3)Generating SNMP traps
4)Reloading the router
5)Generating priotized syslog messages
6)Switching to a secondary processor in a redundant platform
7)requesting system information when an event occurs(like sh tech,sh proccess cpu history).

Sample EEM Scripts:

A) Syslog Event detector:
This example shows the syslog event detector. When the ISP1 interface has been shutdown, the below applet run to turn on the interface and send the alert to the below mention mail id with logged in users information.

 

Configuration:

event manager applet interface_Shutdown
event syslog pattern "Interface FastEthernet1/0, changed state to administratively down"
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.5 cli command "config t"
action 2.0 cli command "interface fa1/0"
action 2.5 cli command "no shutdown"
action 3.0 cli command "end"
action 3.5 cli command "who"
action 4.0 mail server "192.168.1.1" to ".engineer@cisco.com." from ".EEM@cisco.com." subject ".ISP1_Interface_fa1/0_SHUT." body "Current users $_cli_result"

 

Enabling debug detector to get closer view and shutdown the interface fa1/0.

B) CLI Event detector:
In this example applet has created to stop "debugging" command on the CLI. If anyone enter the debug command it will have no effect, also clock and user’s information will be stored in flash.

 

Configuration:

event manager applet Stop_Debug
event cli pattern "debug" sync no skip yes
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "sh users | append flash:Debug"
action 3.0 cli command "sh clock | append flash:Debug_clock"

 

Verification:

Checking the registered applet with following command:

 

R1#sh event manager policy registered

C) Interface Events:

In this example applet is configure to measure rxload on the interface.

 

Two applets are configure:

1) When Rx load is above 50% then router will apply access-list on the interface fa0/1 to allow only important traffic and block the unwanted traffic.
2) When Rx load goes below 25, the router will remove applied access-list from the interface fa0/1 to allow all traffic.

 

Configuration:

event manager applet Interface_Load_UP
event tag 1 interface name FastEthernet1/0 parameter rxload entry-op gt entry-val 127 entry-type value poll-interval 30
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 cli command "conf t"
action 1.2 cli command "int fa1/0"
action 1.3 cli command "ip access-group IMP_TRAFFIC in "
action 1.4 cli command "end"
event manager applet Interface_Load_Down
event tag 1 interface name FastEthernet1/0 parameter rxload entry-op lt entry-val 25 entry-type value poll-interval 30
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 cli command "conf t"
action 1.2 cli command "int fa1/0"
action 1.3 cli command "no ip access-group IMP_TRAFFIC in "
action 1.4 cli command "end"

D) SNMP event Detector:

 

In this example EEM applet reads the SNMP variable and it will be triggered when the CPU goes above 60 %.you can customized applet according to the need. However, caution should be exercised to consider the file system free space before deploying the applet.

 

For SNMP OID you can use SNMP Object Navigator

 

Configuration:

 

event manager applet HIGH-CPU
!
event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3 get-type next entry-op gt entry-val 60 poll-interval 5
!
action 0.1 cli command "enable"
action 0.2 syslog msg "Capturing high cpu information to flash:"
action 0.3 cli command "term length 0"
action 1.1 cli command "show process cpu sorted | append flash:EEM_CPU"
action 1.4 cli command "show ip traffic | append flash:EEM_TRAFFIC"
action 1.4 cli command "show logging | append flash:EEM_LOGS"
action 4.2 syslog msg "Removing EEM APPLET from running_config"
action 9.2 cli command "configure terminal"
action 9.3 cli command "no event manager applet HIGH-CPU"
action 9.4 cli command "end"
action 9.5 cli command "term default length"

 

Verification:

 

R2#
*Nov 18 12:30:53.139: %HA_EM-6-LOG: HIGH-CPU: Capturing high cpu information to flash:

E) TCL (Tool Control Language) is a scripting language used extensively by Cisco to facilitate the testing and automating of various functions in the IOS.

In this example, small TCL script configured to check reachability of Branch devices from the Core router.

Hi Ashish,

It's a nice Document. Very informative.

I had an requirement for which i was searching for EEM script and found your DOC. It was very informative.

In my scenario if any user logged into switch is removing TACACS configuration is it possible to send auto alert to LMS is it achievable through EEM script. Please can you help in this.

Dear Ashish,

Thank You for sharing this useful information.

I have written an EEM script that is using IP SLA but I have some doubts about it, weather it will work in Production

the way I preceives it.

Before I share my configuration let me breifly describe what I am trying to accomplish.

I have 2 ASA 5585 at the Primary Site which is the Data Center and both firewalls are connected to 2 6506E which are operating in VSS Mode.VSS at the Data Center site is connected upstream to the Aggregation Router that is connected with Multiple Branch Routers via GRE Tunnels.The routes are being exchanged between Aggregation Router and VSS via ospf.At VSS we have Static Routes point to primary firewall that is in Active Mode (2nd Firewall is in Standby Mode).

Now the Same Exact Topology exists the Disaster Recovery Site. 2 6506 E are operating in VSS Mode. VSS ports at DR Site used to connect with Primary Firewall are in Shutdown Mode but on the end of the link at Firewall the ports are in no shut mode.Customer is using same exact private RFC 1918 address at both sites Data Center and Disaster Recovery Site. Both sites are connected to Each Other Via Nexus 5K Extended Reach Fiber Link.Also VSS at the Data Center site and Disaster Recovery Site are also connected with extended reach link that running ospf on it.

Now in the even if both Firewalls Primary and Seondary goes down at Data Center Site I want VSS Ports at the Disaster Recover site that is connected to Firewall at Disaster Recover Site should go to no shutdown mode and when any of the Firewall at Data Center Site becomes available again I want VSS ports at the Disaster Recovery site should go back to shutdown mode.To acheive this I have written the EEM in conjuction with IP SLA.

Could You Please spare some time can validate if this is going to work.

Your assistance in this will be highly appreciated.

Hello ashirk

 

your script "high-cpu"  gives me no result, when I put "sh flash" it shows me " "Open device slot0 failed (Bad device info block)"

 

And I want to create a script to display a traffic interface but I not know how . you can help me?

Hello Ashirkar,

I did what you wrote but it didn't work. I guess it doesn`t work because my router 2911 ask a user and password y it goes directly to privileged mode

"username rsnpower2 privilege 15 secret 4 LgaZhZWEWKivYt.uo6bM87s3eMiIPtS50PDGv2K1IUA"

So, if the firts cli command is "enable", but my router has a password, then how it would do to get in  privileged mode (#) and it can use the next cli command.

When i use: "Show event manager history events" it shows that my applet is active and had a track event.

 

I would be veru grateful for your answer.

Best regards,

Sandro

Does anyone know how to get EEM scripts to direct "show" command output or "more" command output to the console terminal? It seems EEM suppresses "show run" commands.

 

Thanks

I have a Nexus switch whose OS does not support IP SLA.

 

I need to have a script or a tool to ping to a next hop and send alert mails on even a single drop.

 

Can I acheive this using only EEM tools? If yes, can you share how to?

 

Thanks in advance!!

Great post

 

I have a doubt

What if i want to save the running-config to tftp?

for testing purposes i tried this to save the running-config every 5 minutes but didn't work

 

event manager applet RESPALDOTEST
 event timer cron name RESPALDOTEST cron-entry "5 * * * *"
 action 1 cli command "enable"
 action 2 cli command "copy running-config tftp:"
 action 3 cli command "172.16.20.123"
 action 4 cli command "respaldotest"
 action 5 cli command "end"

 

can you help me?

Hi ysantizo1,

 

you could do it like this:

 

event manager applet RESPALDOTEST
 event timer cron name RESPALDOTEST cron-entry "5 * * * *"
 action 1 cli command "enable"
 action 2 cli command "copy running-config tftp://172.16.20.123/respaldotest"
 action 4 cli command "y"
 action 5 cli command "end"

 

But I prefer the "archive" command:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/fundamentals/command/reference/cf_book/cf_a1.html#wp1018716

and you can soemthing like this:

archive
 log config
 path tftp://172.16.20.123/
 write-memory

This will you copy your running-config everytime if you execute "wr"  or "copy run start" to your tftp-server.

 

kind regards,

Flo

 action 2 cli command "copy running-config tftp://172.16.20.123/respaldotest"
 action 4 cli command "y"
 action 5 cli command "end"

but didn't work

i guess that is for the next lines that are interactive and ask you for the host again

 

i didn't use the archive command because i want it to be fully automated

 

any advise?

I tried too with some empty cli commands like this

 

event manager applet RESPALDOTEST
 event timer cron name RESPALDOTEST cron-entry "5 * * * *"
 action 1 cli command "enable"
 action 2 cli command "copy running-config tftp://172.16.20.123/respaldotest"

 action 3 cli command ""
 action 4 cli command ""
 action 5 cli command "end"

 

and still nothing

Hi,

 

try soemting like this:

 

event manager applet SAVING-RUNNING-TO-TFTP
 description Backup running-config to TFTP 172.16.20.123
 event syslog pattern "%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from"
 action 0.1 info type routername
 action 1.0 cli command "enable"
 action 1.1 cli command "copy run tftp" pattern "Address"
 action 1.2 cli command "172.16.20.123" pattern "filename"
 action 1.3 cli command "$_info_routername-confg"
 action 2.0 syslog priority informational msg "Configuration change detected. Write to TFTP succesfully executed"!

 

Every time if logout from the configuration mode you get the syslog-message %SYS-5-CONFIG and with this applet you grep this pattern and then saving your running-config to your tftp-server
