Command or Action
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event
manager applet applet-name
switch(config)# event syslog
[tag tag] {occurs number |
period seconds | pattern
msg-text | priority priority}
switch(config)# copy
running-config startup-config
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Registers an applet with EEM and enters applet configuration
mode.
Monitors syslog messages and invokes the policy based on the
search string in the policy.
• The tag tag keyword-argument pair identifies this specific
event when multiple events are included in the policy.
• The occurs number keyword-argument pair specifies the
number of occurrences. The range is from 1 to 65000.
• The period seconds keyword-argument pair specifies the
interval during which the event occurs. The range is from 1
to 4294967295.
• The pattern msg-text keyword-argument pair specifies the
matching regular expression. The pattern can contain
character text, an environment variable, or a combination of
the two. If the string contains embedded blanks, it is enclosed
in quotation marks.
• The priority priority keyword-argument pair specifies the
priority of the syslog messages. If this keyword is not
selected, all syslog messages are set at the informational
priority level.
(Optional)
Saves the change persistently through reboots and restarts by
copying the running configuration to the startup configuration.
