Overview
EEM能比SNMP監測更多的有關交換機子系統的細節，它可以根據用戶設定的策略自動回響更微小的問題。舉例來說，如果一個進程吃掉了超過策略允許的CPU處理能力，EEM就能啟動自動化回響。EEM能執行通過思科標準命令行界面下達的任何指令。
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
