Solved: EEM-tcl trigger using customized syslog not working.

soachar · ‎04-07-2014

I had a query with respect to eem tcl scripts.

I have to invoke a script when a customized syslog is generated, which is not working

Test1.tcl

::cisco::eem::event_register_none maxrun 100

namespace import ::cisco::eem::*

namespace import ::cisco::lib::*

action_syslog msg "Invoke call manager"

Test2.tcl

::cisco::eem::event_register_syslog pattern "\%HA_EM-6-LOG: test1.tcl: Invoke call manager"

namespace import ::cisco::eem:*
namespace import ::cisco::lib:*

action_syslog msg "Entered test2.tcl"

Debugs:

Apr 7 07:43:55.544: %HA_EM-6-LOG: test1.tcl: Invoke call manger

Apr 7 07:43:55.784: %HA_EM-6-LOG: test1.tcl: Invoke call manger

Though I am seeing the message in the log, 2^nd script, test2.tcl is not getting triggered. Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?

Thanks,

Soumya

EEM cannot generate syslog messages that EEM can intercept. This is to avoid possible infinite loops. If you want one script to invoke another, look at using "action_policy".
