Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) is a powerful device and system management technology integrated into specific Cisco switches and routers. EEM helps customers harness the network intelligence intrinsic to Cisco IOS Software and gives them the ability to customize behavior based on network events as they happen.
Cisco Beyond is a scripting community that provides an easy-to-use, web-based file-sharing system where customers, partners, and other users can download and share EEM scripts.
As with similar online communities, Cisco Beyond is intended to benefit users of all knowledge levels. Less experienced EEM users will benefit by taking advantage of best-practice examples available within the community. More experienced users, such as those from consulting and training organizations, can showcase their knowledge capital while learning additional tips and tricks from other experienced users.
Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) is a powerful ally for device and system management. EEM enables customers to harness the network intelligence intrinsic to Cisco IOS and customize the behavior based on real network events as they happen.
EEM consists of Event Detectors, the Event Manager, and an Event Manager Policy Engine. The policy engine drives two types of policies that users can configure, Applet policies and Tcl policies. Customers can define policies to take specific actions when the Cisco IOS software recognizes certain events through the Event Detectors. The result is an extremely powerful and flexible set of tools to automate many network management tasks and direct the operation of Cisco IOS to increase availability, collect information, and notify external systems or personnel about critical events.
EEM represents a fundamental shift in network management and makes the router or switch running Cisco IOS an active participant rather than a passive slave to external network management systems. With EEM, events are seen from the device perspective and the actions happen without the need for external connectivity. And control remains in the customer's hands. You program the actions you want to take.
