300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO commands would a network engineer use…
Which TWO commands would a network engineer use to verify the operation of an Embedded Event Manager (EEM) applet that triggers on a syslog pattern? (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
✓
show event manager history events
The 'show event manager history events' command displays recent EEM events, including those triggered by syslog patterns, while 'show event manager policy active' lists currently registered and active EEM applets. The other options either show unrelated EEM data or require additional configuration to be useful.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
show event manager history events
Why this is correct
This command shows the history of EEM events, including syslog-triggered events, allowing verification that the applet fired.
- ✓
show event manager policy active
Why this is correct
This command lists all active EEM policies (applets), confirming the applet is registered and running.
- ✗
show event manager detector syslog
Why it's wrong here
This is not a valid IOS command; EEM syslog detectors are configured via event manager applet, not shown with a dedicated detector command.
- ✗
show event manager environment
Why it's wrong here
This command shows EEM environment variables, not applet execution or syslog trigger history.
- ✗
debug event manager action all
Why it's wrong here
This is a debug command, not a verification command; it enables verbose logging of EEM actions, which is disruptive and not a standard verification tool.
