• Resource—The resource event detector publishes an event when the Embedded Resource Manager
(ERM) reports an event for the specified policy.
• RF—The redundancy framework (RF) event detector publishes an event when one or more RF events
occur during synchronization in a dual Route Processor (RP) system. The RF event detector can also
detect an event when a dual RP system continuously switches from one RP to another RP (referred to
as a ping-pong situation).
EEM 2.2 introduced the following actions:
• Reading the state of a tracked object.
• Setting the state of a tracked object.
Embedded Event Manager 2.3
EEM 2.3 is supported on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches and introduces enhancements to the Generic
Online Diagnostics (GOLD) Event Detector on that product.
• The event gold command was enhanced with the addition of the action-notify, testing-type, test-name,
test-id, consecutive-failure, platform-action, and maxrun keywords for improved reaction to GOLD
test failures and conditions.
• The following platform-wide GOLD Event Detector information can be accessed through new read-only
EEM built-in environment variables:
• Boot-up diagnostic level
• Card index, name, serial number
• Port counts
• Test counts
• The following test-specific GOLD Event Detector information can be accessed through new read-only
EEM built-in environment variables (available to EEM applets only):
• Test name, attribute, total run count
• Test result per test, port, or device
• Total failure count, last fail time
• Error code
• Occurrence of consecutive failures
These enhancements result in reduced mean time to recovery (MTTR) and higher availability through improved
automation and fault detection.
Embedded Event Manager 2.4
EEM 2.4 introduced the following event detectors:
