Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) is a powerful tool that allows

you to monitor events on a Cisco router and automate responses to those


events. Essentially, it enables you to create scripts that run automatically
when specific events occur, such as an interface going down or a syslog
message being generated. This allows for proactive problem solving, faster
recovery, and even customized network management.
Here's a more detailed explanation:

What is EEM?
 Event-Driven Automation:
EEM is a feature built into Cisco IOS that allows you to monitor for specific events
and automatically execute predefined actions when those events occur.
 Local Execution:
EEM scripts run directly on the router, eliminating the need for an external scripting
engine or management station.
 Flexibility:
EEM supports various event types, including syslog messages, interface status
changes, and even the output of specific show commands.
 Customizable Actions:
You can define a wide range of actions to be taken in response to an event, such
as running CLI commands, sending emails, or even triggering other scripts.
Key Components:
 Event Detectors: These components monitor the router for specific events.
 EEM Applets: These are the scripts that define the actions to be taken when a
specific event is detected.
 Actions: The specific commands or operations that are executed when an event is
triggered.
Benefits of EEM:
 Proactive Problem Solving:
EEM can detect and react to issues before they escalate, improving network
availability.
 Automation:
Automate routine tasks and troubleshooting steps, reducing manual effort.
 Customization:
Tailor the router's behavior to your specific needs and network environment.
 Troubleshooting:
EEM can be used to gather information about network issues, making
troubleshooting faster and more efficient.
 Network Optimization:
EEM can be used to optimize network performance by dynamically adjusting
configurations based on real-time conditions.
Examples of EEM Use Cases:
 Interface Recovery: Automatically bring an interface back up if it goes down.
 Syslog Monitoring: Trigger actions based on specific syslog messages.
 Performance Monitoring: Monitor interface statistics and adjust configurations
based on thresholds.
 Security Monitoring: Detect and respond to security events.

In essence, EEM provides a powerful framework for automating network


management tasks and improving the overall reliability and responsiveness
of your Cisco routers.
