Resource Event Detector
The resource event detector publishes an event when the Embedded Resource Manager (ERM) reports an
event for the specified policy. The ERM infrastructure tracks resource depletion and resource dependencies
across processes and within a system to handle various error conditions. The error conditions are handled by
providing an equitable sharing of resources between various applications. The ERM framework provides a
communication mechanism for resource entities and allows communication between these resource entities
from numerous locations. The ERM framework also helps in debugging CPU and memory-related issues.
The ERM monitors system resource usage to better understand scalability needs by allowing you to configure
threshold values for resources such as the CPU, buffers, and memory. The ERM event detector is the preferred
method for monitoring resources in Cisco software but the ERM event detector is not supported in Software
Modularity images. For more details about ERM, go to “Embedded Resource Manager” module.
RF Event Detector
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).
RPC Event Detector
The remote procedure call (RPC) event detector provides the ability to invoke EEM policies from outside the
device over an encrypted connection using Secure Shell (SSH). The RPC event detector uses Simple Object
Access Protocol (SOAP) data encoding for exchanging XML-based messages. This event detector can be
used to run EEM policies and then receive output in a SOAP XML-formatted reply.
Routing Event Detector
The routing event detector publishes an event when a route entry changes in the Routing Information Base
(RIB).
SNMP Event Detector
The 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.
SNMP Notification Event Detector
The SNMP notification event detector provides the ability to intercept SNMP trap and inform messages
coming into or going out of the device. An SNMP notification event is generated when an incoming or outgoing
SNMP trap or inform message matches specified values or crosses specified thresholds. The SNMP event
detector can wait and intercept the outgoing SNMP traps and informs.
SNMP Object Event Detector
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) object trap event detector provides an extension to replace
the value when an SNMP trap with the specified SNMP object ID (OID) is encountered on a specific interface
or address.
Syslog Event Detector
The syslog event detector allows for screening syslog messages for a regular expression pattern match. The
selected messages can be further qualified, requiring that a specific number of occurrences be logged within
a specified time. A match on a specified event criteria triggers a configured policy action.
