Cisco EEM stands for Embedded Event Manager
Cisco EEM (Embedded Event Manager)
Cisco EEM is a feature included in the Cisco IOS (and IOS variants) that can programmability and automation capabilities inside the router or switch. EEM allows the behavior of a Cisco device to adapt to the business needs of a network by allowing scripting, thresholding and event management inside the 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.
About EEM
With IP SLAs, routers and/or switches perform periodic measurements. The exact number and type of available measurements depends on the IOS version. IP SLAs enable building truly distributed performance collection systems. IP SLAs is very widely used in networks to generate time-based network and services performance data. It is typically used together with SNMP and Netflow which generate volume-based data. IP SLAs is often used to generate data which is needed by service level agreements.
