+Event Handler
+#############
+
+*********************************
+Event Handler Technology Overview
+*********************************
+
+Event handler allows you to execute scripts when a string that matches a regex or a regex with 
+a service name appears in journald logs. You can pass variables, arguments, and a full matching string to the script.
+
+
+******************************
+How to configure Event Handler
+******************************
+
+    `1. Create an event handler`_
+
+    `2. Add regex to the script`_
+
+    `3. Add a full path to the script`_
+
+    `4. Add optional parameters`_
+
+*********************************
+Event Handler Configuration Steps
+*********************************
+
+1. Create an event handler
+==========================
+
+    .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event <event-handler name>
+
+    This is an optional command because the event handler will be automatically created after any of the next commands.
+
+
+2. Add regex to the script
+===========================================
+
+    .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event <event-handler name> filter pattern <regex>   
+
+    This is a mandatory command. Sets regular expression to match against log string message.
+    
+    .. note:: The regular expression matches if and only if the entire string matches the pattern.
+
+
+
+3. Add a full path to the script
+================================
+
+    .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event <event-handler name> script path <path to script>
+   
+    This is a mandatory command. Sets the full path to the script. The script file must be executable.
+
+
+   
+4. Add optional parameters
+==========================
+
+    .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event <event-handler name> filter syslog-identifier <sylogid name>
+
+    This is an optional command. Filters log messages by syslog-identifier.
+
+    .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event <event-handler name> script environment <env name> value <env value>
+
+    This is an optional command. Adds environment and its value to the script. Use separate commands for each environment.
+    
+    One implicit environment exists.
+    
+    * ``message``: Full message that has triggered the script.
+
+    .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event <event-handler name> script arguments <arguments>
+
+    This is an optional command. Adds arguments to the script. Arguments must be separated by spaces.
+
+    .. note:: We don't recomend to use arguments. Using environments is more preffereble.
+    
+
+*******
+Example
+*******
+
+    Event handler that monitors the state of interface eth0.
+
+    .. code-block:: none
+
+	set service event-handler event INTERFACE_STATE_DOWN filter pattern '.*eth0.*,RUNNING,.*->.*'
+	set service event-handler event INTERFACE_STATE_DOWN filter syslog-identifier 'netplugd'
+	set service event-handler event INTERFACE_STATE_DOWN script environment interface_action value 'down'
+	set service event-handler event INTERFACE_STATE_DOWN script environment interface_name value 'eth2'
+	set service event-handler event INTERFACE_STATE_DOWN script path '/config/scripts/eventhandler.py'
+
+    Event handler script
+
+    .. code-block:: none
+
+	#!/usr/bin/env python3
+	#
+	# VyOS event-handler script example
+	from os import environ
+	import subprocess
+	from sys import exit
+
+	# Perform actions according to requirements
+	def process_event() -> None:
+    	    # Get variables
+    	    message_text = environ.get('message')
+    	    interface_name = environ.get('interface_name')
+    	    interface_action = environ.get('interface_action')
+    	    # Print the message that triggered this script
+    	    print(f'Logged message: {message_text}')
+    	    # Prepare a command to run
+    	    command = f'sudo ip link set {interface_name} {interface_action}'.split()
+    	    # Execute a command
+    	    subprocess.run(command)
+
+	if __name__ == '__main__':
+    	    try:
+        	# Run script actions and exit
+        	process_event()
+    	        exit(0)
+    	    except Exception as err:
+        	# Exit properly in case if something in the script goes wrong
+            	print(f'Error running script: {err}')
+            	exit(1)
