Embedded Event Manager 1.0
EEM 1.0 introduced the following event detectors:
• SNMP—The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) event detector allows a standard SNMP
MIB object to be monitored and an event to be generated when the object matches specified values or
crosses specified thresholds.
• Syslog—The syslog event detector allows for screening syslog messages for a regular expression pattern
match.
EEM 1.0 introduced the following actions:
• Generating prioritized syslog messages.
• Generating a Cisco Networking Services (CNS) event for upstream processing by CNS devices.
• Reloading the Cisco software.
• Switching to a secondary processor in a fully redundant hardware configuration.
Embedded Event Manager 2.0
EEM 2.0 introduced some new features. EEM 2.0 introduced the following event detectors:
• Application-Specific—The application-specific event detector allows any Embedded Event Manager
policy to publish an event.
• Counter—The counter event detector publishes an event when a named counter crosses a specified
threshold.
• Interface Counter—The interface counter event detector publishes an event when a generic Cisco IOS
interface counter for a specified interface crosses a defined threshold.
• Timer—The timer event detector publishes events for the following four different types of timers:
absolute-time-of-day, countdown, watchdog, and CRON.
• Watchdog System Monitor (IOSWDSysMon)—The Cisco IOS watchdog system monitor event detector
publishes an event when CPU or memory utilization for a Cisco IOS process crosses a threshold.
EEM 2.0 introduced the following actions:
• Setting or modifying a named counter.
• Publishing an application-specific event
• Generating an SNMP trap.
The ability to run a Cisco defined sample policy written using Tool Command Language (Tcl) was introduced.
A sample policy was provided that could be stored in the system policy directory.
