{{Short description|Cisco IOS automation feature}}
{{no footnotes|date=November 2015}}
Cisco '''Embedded Event Manager''' ('''EEM''') is a feature included in [[Cisco IOS|Cisco's IOS operating system]] (and some other Cisco OSes such as IOS-XR, IOS-XE, and NX-OS) that allow programmability and automation capabilities inside the device. EEM allows the behavior of a Cisco device to adapt to specific user requirements by allowing scripting, thresholding, proactive actions, data collection and event management inside the Cisco device itself. Using EEM, problems can be identified and resolved automatically in advance by setting event triggers (called Event Detectors) to watch for specific types of situations or thresholds, or run a set of actions periodically.
==Cisco embedded management family==
When a situation is detected by EEM, it uses policies to invoke actions based on the type of event and the configured policy. EEM currently supports three different types of programming actions (see [[Embedded event manager#Programming Capabilities|Programming Capabilities]] below).▼
EEM is a member of a family of embedded management technologies in Cisco IOS including SNMP, NetFlow, IP SLA, [[Web Services Management Agent]], [[Syslog]], ESM (Embedded Syslog Manager), ERM (Embedded Resource Manager), EMM (Embedded Menu Manager), [[Tcl]] and Service Diagnostics.▼

==About
With EEM, users can capture complex network events and run sophisticated programs on Cisco devices. The version of EEM on most Cisco devices is version 2.1, or version is 3.0 which was introduced in IOS 12.4(22)T. The latest version is version 4.0, which was released November 2011, targeting IOS releases 12.2SR, 12.2SB, 12.4, and 12.4T, 15.0M, 12.2SG, 12.2SE, Cisco IOS XE, and future versions. EEM consists of three areas;
===Event
The brains of EEM are event detectors. These event detectors are built-in capabilities to watch for specific situations or conditions. Newer versions of EEM have more event detectors than older ones.

* [[SNMP]]
* OIR (Online Insertion and Removal)
* CLI [[
* [[Syslog]]
* [[XML-RPC]]
Line 37 ⟶ 39:
* None (launch the event manually)
===
Policies determine what is run when an event is detected. Policies save users from having to enumerate an action for every possible event.
===Programming
EEM supports three methods of programmability and scripting.
# Applets - these allow CLI to be run when a certain set of conditions occurs
# [[Tcl]] - when more complex programs need to be built, EEM supports Tcl (Tool Command Language) development
# IOS.sh - newer versions of IOS support IOS.sh (IOS shell) macros similar to Linux bash shell

==Example
There are four steps to setting up an EEM system. In this example, we will get an email of the status of the system when the [[HSRP]] state changes. This
# {{mono|event manager environment _email_server 172.27.121.177}} ''<span style="color:blue;"><-- define the environment variable</span>''
Line 173 ⟶ 174:
# {{mono|action 1.5 mail server "$_email_server" to "$_email_to" from "$_email_from" subject "HSRP_STATE_CHANGE Alert from $_info_routername: $_syslog_msg" body "$_cli_result"}} ''<span style="color:blue;"><-- send an email with the result of the last CLI command in the body of the message</span>''
