EEM - action mail

It is possible to set up an EEM script to send out email alerts as an action. This can be achieved using the action mail command.

An example configuration that can achieve this can be seen below, in conjunction with an IP SLA trigger.

ip sla 1
  icmp-echo  source-interface 
  threshold 200
  timeout 1000
  frequency 10
  ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now

event manager applet IP-SLA-FAIL
    event ipsla operation-id 1 reaction-type timeout
    action 1.0 mail server "" to "" from "" subject "IP SLA Failure" body "IP SLA monitoring has failed for IP: "

Using the action mail command, and the appropriate email server setup and parameters, these commands will cause an email alert to be sent, triggered by the failure in the IP SLA.
