Configuring an event-handler profile

Enter configure terminal to access global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```

Enter the event-handler command.

device(config)# event-handler eventHandler1

For each trigger that you need for a profile, enter the trigger command.
```
device(config-event-handler-eventHandler1)# trigger 1 raslog LOG-1001
```
The trigger event is RASlog message #LOG-1001.
Enter the action python-script command to specify a Python script that runs when the event-handler is triggered.
```
device(config-event-handler-eventHandler1)# action python-script example.py
```
To add an event-handler-profile description, enter description, followed by the description text.
```
device(config-event-handler-eventHandler1)# description This is a sample description.
```

Caution

Make sure that you test Python scripts according to standard quality assurance practices before deploying them.

The following example includes all of the steps.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# event-handler eventHandler1
device(config-event-handler-eventHandler1)# trigger 1 raslog LOG-1001
device(config-event-handler-eventHandler1)# action python-script example.py
device(config-event-handler-eventHandler1)# description This is a sample description.

The following example defines a trigger that uses POSIX extended REGEX to search for a match within a specified RASlog message ID.

device# configure terminal
device(config-event-handler-eventHandler1)# event-handler eventHandler2
device(config-event-handler-eventHandler2)# trigger 1 raslog NSM-1003 pattern Interface Ethernet 1/[1-9] is link down

RASlog message NSM-1003 includes "interface interface-name is link down", indicating that an interface is offline because the link is down. The REGEX searches within such a message for an interface from 1/1 through 1/9.
