Event Statements - Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring the Embedded Event Manager

Event Statements

An event is any device activity for which some action, such as a workaround or a notification, should be taken.
In many cases, these events are related to faults in the device such as when an interface or a fan malfunctions.
EEM defines event filters so only critical events or multiple occurrences of an event within a specified time
period trigger an associated action.
This figure shows events that are handled by EEM.
Figure 3: EEM Overview
Event statements specify the event that triggers a policy to run. You can configure multiple event triggers.
EEM schedules and runs policies on the basis of event statements. EEM examines the event and action
commands and runs them as defined.
If you want to allow the triggered event to process any default actions, you must configure the EEM policy
Note
to allow the event default action statement.
