Setup Guide

Following snippet triggers the script once the cpu-usage reaches 30%:
DellEMC(conf)#script trigger-event event1 cpu-usage 30
DellEMC(conf)#script event-handler handler1
DellEMC(conf-screvt-handler)#execute Report_server.tcl args 4
DellEMC(conf-screvt-handler)#triggered-by event1
DellEMC(conf-screvt-handler)#no disable
Following snippet triggers a script of the system throws the SYSLOG like Oct 29 05:28:16: %RPM0-P:CP %IFMGR-5-
OSTATE_UP: Changed interface state to up: Ma 0/0:
DellEMC(conf)#script trigger-event Port_State_Event log-event tag tag-regex "OSTATE.*up"
DellEMC(conf)#script event-handler handler1
DellEMC(conf)#execute Report_server.tcl args 4
DellEMC(conf)#triggered-by Port_State_Event
DellEMC(conf)#no disable
Following snippet triggers a script even if any one of the pattern matches:
DellEMC(conf)#script trigger-event Server_Reporter_Event log-event tag tag-or-ex "Major
alarm" "Minor alarm"
DellEMC(conf)#script event-handler handler1
DellEMC(conf-screvt-handler)#execute Report_server.tcl args 4
DellEMC(conf-screvt-handler)#triggered-by Server_Reporter_Event
DellEMC(conf-screvt-handler)#no disable
Managing Executed Scripts
Use any of the following commands to manage or control the scripts; for example, stop, kill, resume, unscheduled, and clear.
Protect system resources by scheduling scripts to run when resources are within the threshold parameters you congured. System
resources include the switch CPU, memory, and le system. For example:
DellEMC#show script process detail
JobID Script Type Script Status Username Script Name Args
000 TRIGGER Running admin admin.pl
001 REPEAT Running user1 sample.zsh hello
002 CONF WATCH Watch Blocked user2 args.pl
003 EXEC Scheduled user2 args.pl hi
DellEMC#
The script status are determined as follows:
• Scheduled — The script is scheduled to run.
• Running — The script is currently running.
• Stopped — The script is suspended.
• Completed — The script run is successful and exits normally.
• Watch Blocked — The script is monitored but terminates within ten minutes.
• SSMGR-Stopped — Dell EMC Networking OS stops the script by itself, if the cpu/disk-io/mem goes beyond the threshold.
• To monitor the running script, use the watch command.
DellEMC#show script watch details
JobID Script Type Script Status Reset Count Watch StartTime Script NameArgs Username
002 CONF WATCH Watch Blocked 3 Tue Dec 3 18:04:28 2013 args.pl
user2
• To control the script that is running based on the system resources such as the CPU, memory or disk I/O usage, use the switch
script limit cpu <percentage> memory <percentage> diskio <percentage> command.
The scripting framework is enabled with system resource usage protection. Therefore, when the system is running at a high CPU,
memory or disk I/O, the program automatically suspends all the user-congured running scripts and also prevents scheduling new
