Sending 'show' command outputs to console/terminal using EEM

Question

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to EEM and was wondering if it would be possible to send 'show' commands  (like 'show interface' or 'show crypto ipsec sa') to the terminal/console session after every, let's say, 10 minutes using watchdog timer. I know how to send it to the flash but would like to know if something of this sort is possible.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi Nithakur,
you can try the "action puts" from EEM
event manager applet SHOWI
 event timer watchdog time 600
 action 1.0 cli command "enable"
 action 2.0 cli command "show int X/Y"
 action 3.0 puts "$_cli_result"
for this to work, you would need to have "logging monitor informational" in your run and "terminal monitor" activated. The other option is to use IOS send command
event manager applet SHOWI2
 event timer watchdog time 600
 action 1.0 cli command "enable"
 action 2.0 cli command "show int XY"
 action 3.0 set A "$_cli_result"
 action 4.0 cli command "send *" pattern "C:"
 action 5.0 cli command "$A\032" pattern "confirm"
 action 6.0 cli command "yes"
Note that the \032 is an equivalent for CTRL+Z (^Z) so after you configure it, you will see this line as
 action 5.0 cli command "$A^Z" pattern "confirm"
in your ruiining config.
