- A
The command 'show event manager policy available' displays all configured EEM applets on the device.
Why wrong: Incorrect. This command shows available Tcl policies, not applets.
- B
The 'debug event manager action cli' command enables debugging output for CLI actions executed by EEM applets.
Correct. This debug command shows the CLI commands being executed by applet actions.
- C
The 'show event manager history events' command displays a log of recent events that have triggered applets.
Correct. This command shows the event history, including timestamps and applet names.
- D
The 'show event manager policy active' command shows all applets that are currently running or have run recently.
Why wrong: Incorrect. This command shows active Tcl policies, not applets. Use 'show event manager applet' for applets.
- E
The 'show event manager applet' command is not a valid IOS command.
Why wrong: Incorrect. 'show event manager applet' is a valid command that displays configured applets and their details.
Quick Answer
The correct answer is that the 'show event manager history events' command displays a log of recent events that have triggered applets. This command is essential for EEM verification and debugging because it provides a chronological record of event occurrences, allowing you to confirm that your applet was actually triggered by the intended condition, such as a syslog pattern or interface state change. On the Cisco CCNP ENARSI 300-410 exam, this question tests your ability to distinguish between commands used for monitoring EEM applets versus those for Tcl policies or action debugging—a common trap is confusing 'show event manager policy active' or 'show event manager policy available' with applet-specific verification. Remember that 'policy' commands relate to registered Tcl scripts, while 'applet' and 'history events' are your go-to for applet debugging. A helpful memory tip: think of "history events" as the applet's diary—it logs every time the applet wakes up, so you can verify it actually ran.
300-410 Embedded Event Manager (EEM) Practice Question
This 300-410 practice question tests your understanding of embedded event manager (eem). Examine the command output carefully: the correct answer depends on what the output actually shows, not on general recall alone. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO statements about EEM applet debugging and verification are correct? (Choose TWO.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
The 'debug event manager action cli' command enables debugging output for CLI actions executed by EEM applets.
'show event manager policy available' lists registered Tcl policies, not applets. 'debug event manager action cli' debugs CLI actions. 'show event manager history events' shows recent event occurrences. 'show event manager policy active' shows running policies. 'show event manager applet' is a valid command.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the 300-410 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
