Create an event handler +========================== + + .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event + + 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 filter pattern + + This is a mandatory command.

Add a full path to the script +================================ + + .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event script path + + This is a mandatory command. Sets the full path to the script.

Add optional parameters +========================== + + .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event filter syslog-identifier + + This is an optional command. Filters log messages by syslog-identifier. + + .. cfgcmd:: set service event-handler event script environment value + + This is an optional command. Adds environment and its value to the script.
