fault or take corrective action.

Event Policy Overview
In response to events, event policies can execute the following actions:
■ Ignore the event—Do not generate a system log message for this event and do
not process any further policy instructions for this event.
■ Raise a trap—Initiate an SNMP trap to notify SNMP trap-based applications when
the event occurs.
■ Upload a file—Upload a file to a specified destination. You can specify a transfer
delay, so that, on receipt of an event, the upload process begins after the
configured transfer delay. For example, a transfer delay can ensure that a core
file has been completely generated before being uploaded.
■ Execute CLI operational mode commands—Execute commands when an event
occurs. The output of these commands is stored in a file, which is then uploaded
to a specified URL.
■ Execute operation scripts—Execute operation scripts when an event occurs. The
output of the operation scripts is stored in a file, which is then uploaded to a
specified URL. For information about operation scripts, see “Automating Network
Management and Troubleshooting with Operation Scripts” on page 92.
To view a list of the events that can be referenced in an event policy, issue the help
