Usage Guidelines
An EEM event is triggered when one of the fields specified by an SNMP object ID crosses a defined threshold. If multiple conditions exist, the SNMP event will be triggered when all the conditions are met.
Exit criteria are optional. If exit criteria are not specified, event monitoring will be reenabled immediately. If exit criteria are specified--on the basis of values or time periods--event monitoring is not reenabled until the criteria are met.
When theentry-op keyword is used and there is a match, an event is triggered and event monitoring is disabled until the exit criteria are met.
When theexit-op keyword is used and there is a match, an event is triggered and event monitoring is reenabled.
The entry-typekeyword triggers one of the following actions:
If the value keyword is specified, the entry-value is an actual value and an SNMP event is raised whenever the absolute value occurs.
If the increment keyword is specified, the entry-value is an increment and an SNMP event is raised whenever the incremental value is reached.
If the rate keyword is specified, the entry-value is a rate of change and an SNMP event is raised whenever the rate of change value is reached.
When the optional exit-typekeyword is used, the following occurs:
If the value keyword is specified, the exit-value is an actual value and the event monitoring is reenabled whenever the absolute value occurs. This is the default.
If the increment keyword is specified, the exit-value is an increment and the event monitoring is reenabled whenever the incremental value is reached.
If the rate keyword is specified, the exit-value is a rate of change and the event monitoring is reenabled whenever the rate of change value is reached.
The increment and rate types are supported only for the following OID types: INTEGER_TYPE, COUNTER_TYPE, and COUNTER_64_TYPE.
Examples
The following example shows how an EEM applet called memory-fail will run when there is an exact match on the value of a specified SNMP object ID that represents the amount of current process memory. A message saying that process memory is exhausted and noting the current available memory will be sent to syslog.
Router(config)# event manager applet memory-fail
Router(config-applet)# event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.6.1 get-type exact entry-op lt entry-val 5120000 poll-interval 10
Router(config-applet)# action 1.0 syslog msg "Memory exhausted; current available memory is $_snmp_oid_val bytes"
The following example shows an EEM applet called IPSLAping1 being registered to run when there is an exact match on the value of a specified SNMP object ID that represents a successful IP SLA ICMP echo operation (this is equivalent to a ping command). Four actions are triggered when the echo operation fails, and event monitoring is disabled until after the second failure.
A message saying that the ICMP echo operation to a server failed is sent to syslog, an SNMP trap is generated, EEM publishes an application-specific event, and a counter called IPSLA1F is incremented by a value of one.
Registers an event applet with the Embedded Event Manager and enters applet configuration mode.
event snmp-notification
To register the event criteria for an Embedded Event Manager (EEM) applet that is run by sampling Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notification, use the eventsnmp-notificationcommand in applet configuration mode.

COUNTER_TYPE
GAUGE_TYPE
TIME_TICKS_TYPE
COUNTER_64_TYPE
OCTET_PRIM_TYPE
OPAQUE_PRIM_TYPE
When theop keyword is used and there is a match, an event is triggered and event monitoring is disabled until the exit criteria are met.
The operatorargument takes one of the following values:
gt--Greater than.
ge--Greater than or equal to.
eq--Equal to.
ne--Not equal to.
lt--Less than.
le--Less than or equal to.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the snmp-servercommunity public RW and snmp-servermanager commands before eventsnmp-notification is configured.
Router(config)# snmp-server community public RW
Router(config)# snmp-server manager
The following example shows how an EEM applet called SNMP_Notification is being registered to run an EEM script when the router receives an SNMP notification on destination IP address 192.168.1.1 for object OID 1 whose value equals 10.
The following example shows how to intercept an outgoing SNMP trap with the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.2.3.3 and OID value of "UPS: Returned from battery backup power", drop the message and send out a different one.
Router(config)# event manager applet SNMP_Notification
Router(config-applet)# event snmp-notification dest_ip_address 192.168.1.1 oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.2.3.3 op eq oid-value "UPS: Returned from battery backup power" direction outgoing msg-op drop

Syntax Description
oid
Specifies the SNMP object identifier (object ID).
oid-value
Object ID value of the data element in SNMP dotted notation. An OID is defined as a type in the associated MIB, CISCO-EMBEDDED-EVENT-MGR-MIB, and each type has an object value.
typevalue
Specifies the type of object. The following values are valid:
counter--A 32-bit number with a minimum value of 0. When the maximum value is reached, the counter resets to 0.
counter64--A 64-bit number with a minimum value of 0. When the maximum value is reached, the counter resets to 0.
gauge--A 32-bit number with a minimum value of 0. For example, the interface speed on a router is measured using a gauge object type.
int--A 32-bit number used to specify a numbered type within the context of a managed object. For example, to set the operational status of a router interface, 1 represents up and 2 represents down.
ipv4--IP version 4 address.
octet--An octet string in hex notation used to represent physical addresses.
oid--Object identifier value.
string--An octet string in text notation used to represent text strings.
uint--A 32-bit number used to represent decimal value.
sync
Specifies the SNMP and EEM policy execution.
no--Policy and SNMP will run asynchronously.
yes--Run policy and the result determines whether to run SNMP request.
skip
Mandatory if sync is set to no and should not be used if sync is yes. Specifies whether to skip CLI command execution.
no--CLI command should be executed.
yes--CLI command should not be executed.
istable
(Optional) Specifies whether the OID is a SNMP table.
yes--OID is an SNMP table.
no--IOD is not an SNMP table.
default
(Optional) The time period during which the SNMP Object event detector waits for the policy to exit.
seconds
(Optional) Number that represents seconds and optional milliseconds in the format ssssssssss[.mmm]. The range for seconds is from 0 to 4294967295. The range for milliseconds is from 0 to 999. If using milliseconds only, specify the milliseconds in the format 0.mmm.
maxrun
(Optional) Specifies the maximum runtime of the applet.
maxruntime-number
(Optional) Number of seconds specified in ssssssss[.mmm] format, where ssssssss must be an integer representing seconds from 0 to 31536000, and where mmm must be an integer representing milliseconds between 0 and 999. The default value is 20 seconds.

Syntax Description
tag
(Optional) Specifies a tag using the event-tag argument that can be used with the trigger command to support multiple event statements within an applet.
event-tag
(Optional) String that identifies the tag.
label
(Optional) Unique identifier that can be any string. If the string contains embedded blanks, enclose it in double quotation marks.
object-number
Tracked object number in the range from 1 to 500, inclusive. The number is defined using the trackstub command.
state
(Optional) Specifies that the tracked object transition will cause an event to be raised.
up
(Optional) Specifies that an event will be raised when the tracked object transitions from a down state to an up state.
down
(Optional) Specifies that an event will be raised when the tracked object transitions from an up state to a down state.
any
(Optional) Specifies that an event will be raised when the tracked object transitions to or from any state. This is the default.

12.2(33)SXI
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXI.
Usage Guidelines
There are two entry variables associated with this command:
_track_number--Number of the tracked object that caused the event to be triggered.
_track_state--State of the tracked object when the event was triggered; valid states are “up” or “down.”
This command is used to help track objects using EEM. Each tracked object is identified by a unique number that is specified on the tracking command-line interface (CLI). Client processes such as EEM use this number to track a specific object. The tracking process periodically polls the tracked objects and notes any change of value. The changes in the tracked object are communicated to interested client processes, either immediately or after a specified delay. The object values are reported as either up or down.
Examples
The following example shows how to specify event criteria based on a tracked object:
event manager applet track-ten
event track 10 state any
action 1.0 track set 10 state up
action 2.0 track read 10
