Cisco EEM Syslog Pattern Match

Hello Experts,

Can someone please let me know if its possible to have a EEM script activated when particular word appears in a syslog message?

For example, the following is a syslog message:

Sep 19 09:11:33.966: %HA_EM-2-LOG: utilisationHighInterfaceUtilization.tcl: 992&You are experiencing abnormally high traffic utilization |ifu|/15

Would it be possible if have a EEM script activated when the word "high traffic utilization" from the above syslog message appears?

I have tried with the following but it won't work.

event manager applet toptalkers
event syslog pattern "high traffic utilization"
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.5 cli command "show flow monitor FlowMonitor1 cache aggregate ipv4 protocol"
action 4.0 mail server "10.44.xxx.xxx" to "carlton@ska.co.uk" from "carlton@ska.co.uk" subject "toptalkers." body "TopTalker Script $_cli_result"

Cheers

Hello Community,

I figured out why it doesn't work.

Its because the event isn't, technically speaking, a syslog event. Therefore, can someone please show me how to make the script work with the event as stated above:

Sep 19 09:11:33.966: %HA_EM-2-LOG: utilisationHighInterfaceUtilization.tcl: 992&You are experiencing abnormally high traffic utilization |ifu|/15

Cheers
