Configuration Examples to Create a Supplemental Policy

Creating a Supplemental Policy for the Fan Tray Absent Event

This example shows how to create a supplemental policy using the event fanabsent command:

[no] event fanabsent [fan fan-tray-number] time time-interval

In addition to the default policy, this example shows how to execute the policy myappletname and action 3 if fan tray 1 is absent for 60 seconds: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet myappletname
switch(config-applet)# event fanabsent fan 1 time 60
switch(config-applet)# action 3 cli “show env fan”
switch(config-applet)# end

Creating a Supplemental Policy for the Temperature Threshold Event

This example shows how to create a supplemental policy using the event temperature command:

[no] event temperature [mod module-number] [sensor sensor-number] threshold {major | minor | any}

In addition to the default policy, this example shows how to execute the policy myappletname and action 1 if the temperature crosses the minor threshold on sensor 3 of module 2: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet myappletname
switch(config-applet)# event temperature module 2 sensor 3 threshold minor
switch(config-applet)# action 1 cli “show environ temperature”
switch(config-applet)# end

Configuration Examples for the Power Over-Budget Policy

The power over-budget policy gets triggered when the available power capacity drops below zero and the device is no longer able to keep the previously powered-up modules in the powered-up state. The default action is to print a syslog to notify the user of the occurrence of power over budget.

You can enable an additional action to power down modules until the available power recovers from the red (negative) zone.

Shutting Down Modules

If you do not specify any modules, the power over-budget shutdown starts from slot 1 and shuts down modules until the power recovers from the red (negative) zone. Empty slots and slots that contain a supervisor, standby supervisor, spine, or crossbar are skipped.

This example shows how to shut down modules starting from module 1 when the available power drops below zero: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet <myappletname4a> override __pfm_power_over_budget
switch(config-applet)# event poweroverbudget
switch(config-applet)# action 4 overbudgetshut
switch(config-applet)# end

Shutting Down a Specified List of Modules

You can specify a list of modules that the power over-budget action uses to shut down modules until the power recovers from the red (negative) zone. Empty slots and slots that contain a supervisor, standby supervisor, spine, or crossbar are skipped.

This example shows how to shut down modules from a specified list of modules (1, 2, 7, 8) when the available power drops below zero: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet <myappletname4b> override __pfm_power_over_budget
switch(config-applet)# event poweroverbudget
switch(config-applet)# action 5 overbudgetshut module 1,2,7,8
switch(config-applet)# end

Configuration Examples to Select Modules to Shut Down

Using the Policy Default to Select Nonoverridden Modules to Shut Down

This example shows how to use the policy default to select the nonoverridden modules to shut down when a major threshold is exceeded: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet my5a1 override __pfm_tempev_major
switch(config-applet)# end
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet my5a2 override __pfm_tempev_major
switch(config-applet)# event temperature module 1-3 sensor 4 threshold major
switch(config-applet)# action 5 policy-default
switch(config-applet)# end

Using Parameter Substitution to Select Nonoverridden Modules to Shut Down

This example shows how to use parameter substitution to select the nonoverridden modules to shut down when a major threshold is exceeded: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet my5b1 override __pfm_tempev_major
switch(config-applet)# end
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet my5b2 override __pfm_tempev_major
switch(config-applet)# event temperature module 1-3 sensor 8 threshold major
switch(config-applet)# action 6 forceshut module my_module_list reset “temperature-sensor policy trigger”
switch(config-applet)# end

To create event manager parameters, use the event manager environment command. To display the values of event manager parameters, use the show event manager environment all command.

Configuration Examples for the Online Insertion Removal Event

The online insertion removal (OIR) event does not have a default policy.

This example shows how to configure the OIR event using the event oir command:

event oir device-type event-type [device-number]

The device-type can be fan, module, or powersupply.

The event-type can be insert, remove, or anyoir (insert or remove).

The optional device-number specifies a single device. If omitted, all devices are selected.

This example shows how to configure the insert event: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet myoir
switch(config-applet)# event oir module insert
switch(config-applet)# action 1 syslog priority critical msg “OIR insert event: A Module is inserted”

This example shows how to configure the remove event: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet myoir
switch(config-applet)# event oir module remove
switch(config-applet)# action 1 syslog priority critical msg “OIR remove event: A Module is removed”

Configuration Example to Generate a User Syslog

This example shows how to generate a user syslog using the action syslog command: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet myoir
switch(config-applet)# event oir module remove
switch(config-applet)# action 1 syslog priority critical msg “Module is removed”

When this event is triggered, the system generates a syslog as follows: 

switch(config)# 2013 May 20 00:08:27 p1b-57 %$ VDC-1 %$ %EEM_ACTION-2-CRIT: “Module is removed”

Configuration Example to Monitor Syslog Messages

This example shows how to monitor syslog messages from the switch: 

switch(config)# event manager applet a1
switch(config-applet)# event syslog occurs 6 period 4294967 pattern "authentication failed"

When this event is triggered, the action defined in the policy is executed.

Configuration Examples for SNMP Notification

Polling an SNMP OID to Generate an EEM Event

The SNMP object ID (OID) CISCO-SYSTEM-EXT-MIB::cseSysCPUUtilization is used for querying the CPU utilization of the switch: 

cseSysCPUUtilization OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Gauge32 (0..100 )
UNITS "%"
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The average utilization of CPU on the active supervisor."
::= { ciscoSysInfoGroup 1 }

This example shows the use of an SNMP OID that is polled at an interval of 10 seconds and has a threshold value of 95 percent: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet test_policy
switch(config-applet)# event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.305.1.1.1.0 get-type exact entry-op gt entry-val 95 exit-op lt exit-val 90 poll-interval 10

Sending an SNMP Notification in Response to an Event in the Event Policy

You can use this type of configuration to cause a critical event trigger to generate an SNMP notification.

This example shows how to send an SNMP notification for an event from the Event Manager applet configuration mode: 

switch(config-applet)# action 1.1 snmp-trap intdata1 100 intdata2 300 strdata "CPU Hogging at switch1"
switch(config-applet)# action 1.1 snmp-trap intdata1 100 intdata2 300 strdata "Port Failure eth9/1"

This configuration triggers an SNMP notification (trap) from the switch to SNMP hosts. The SNMP payload carries the values of user-defined fields intdata1, intdata2, and strdata.

Configuration Example for Port Tracking

This example shows how to configure the state of one port to match the state of another port (port tracking).

To configure the port tracking of Ethernet interface 3/23 by Ethernet interface 1/2, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Create an object to track the status of Ethernet interface 3/23.

Example:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# track 1 interface ethernet 3/23
switch(config-track)# end

Step 2

Configure an EEM event to shut Ethernet interface 1/2 when the tracking object shuts down.

Example:

switch(config)# event manager applet track_3_23_down
switch(config-applet)# event track 1 state down
switch(config-applet)# action 1 syslog msg EEM applet track_3_23_down shutting down port eth1/2 due to eth3/23 being down
switch(config-applet)# action 2 cli conf term
switch(config-applet)# action 3 cli interface ethernet 1/2
switch(config-applet)# action 4 cli shut
switch(config-applet)# end

Step 3

Configure an EEM event to bring up Ethernet interface 1/2 when Ethernet interface 3/23 comes up.

Example:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# event manager applet track_3_23_up
switch(config-applet)# event track 1 state up
switch(config-applet)# action 1 syslog msg EEM applet track_3_23_down bringing up port eth1/2 due to eth3/23 being up
switch(config-applet)# action 2 cli conf term
switch(config-applet)# action 3 cli interface ethernet 1/2
switch(config-applet)# action 4 cli no shut
switch(config-applet)# end

Configuration Example to Register an EEM Policy with the EEM

This example shows how to register an EEM policy with the EEM:

Basic switch configuration: 

event manager applet vpc_check_peer_at_startup
event track 101 state up
action 1.0 cli copy bootflash:eem/user_script_policies/load_schedules running-config
 
feature scheduler
 
!!## 2 x dummy loopbacks are required ##!!
interface loopback 101
interface loopback 102
 
track 1 list boolean or
object 13
object 12
object 102
track 2 list boolean and
object 13
object 12
track 12 interface Ethernet 2/24 line-protocol
track 13 interface port-channel 3000 line-protocol
track 101 interface loopback 101 line-protocol
track 102 interface loopback 102 line-protocol

Note
In this example, port channel 3000 is the vPC peer link, and Ethernet 2/24 is the vPC keepalive link.

You need to copy the following files to the bootflash:

  • A directory called: /eem/user_script_policies needs to be created on the supervisor bootflash.

  • These five files need to be created and loaded into the above directory:

    • load_schedules

    • remove_vpc_if_peer_failed

    • clean_up

    • unload_schedules

    • restore_vpc

Configuration for the load_schedules file: 

feature scheduler
 
configure terminal
scheduler job name vpc_check
configure terminal
event manager policy remove_vpc_if_peer_failed
end
 
configure terminal
scheduler job name clean_up
configure terminal
event manager policy clean_up
end
 
configure terminal
scheduler job name trigger
configure terminal
interface loopback 102
shutdown
no shutdown
end
 
configure terminal

time start +00:00:04
job name vpc_check
 
scheduler schedule name trigger_vpc_check
time start +00:00:05
job name trigger
 
scheduler schedule name load_clean_up
time start +00:00:08
job name clean_up


scheduler schedule name trigger_clean_up
time start +00:00:10
job name trigger

Configuration for the remove_vpc_if_peer_failed file: 

event manager applet remove_vpc_if_peer_failed
event track 1 state down
