Execute CLI Commands Using an Event Policy

 

To execute a CLI command on occurrence of an event, use the following configuration:

 

1

[edit]

2

user@host# show event-options

3

policy <policy-name> {

4

events <event-name>;

5

then {

6

execute-commands {

7

commands {

8

"show version";

9

}

10

output-filename cmd_output;

11

destination test_dest;

12

}

13

}

14

}

15

destinations {

16

test_dest {

17

archive-sites {

18

/var/tmp;

19

}

20

}

21

}

22

 

23

[edit]

24

user@host#

 

 

As described in the previous configuration example, when a specified event occurs in the system, the policy is executed and a CLI command mentioned in the policy executes (in this example, "show version").

 

The output of the command is saved in the file 'cmd_output' and transferred to a specified destination directory (in this example, "/var/tmp").

 

When the output file is written to the destination directory, the Junos OS system name and timestamp are appended to the file name.
