Have you tried using 'Intelligent Policy Center'? There is not much documentation on this subject, but sometimes I have tried to do tests, I have had 50% success. I would like the HPE team to improve the functions of this utility and explain better how to use more variables or parameters in our favor.

Hi,

Let say that your Syslog to Alarm name is "recover err-disabled". Then you can use it on Policy Center.
Add an event and select Alarms: "Trap upgraded from syslog" <-- that is the actual name.

Then on the "Alarm Variable Matching Rules" section add the following:

1. Alarm Variable Name: "Rule Name"

2. Regular Expression: "recover err-disabled".

That is the way to trigger syslog to alarm events.

Sorry I don't have the answer for how to run the script using the variables from a specific alarm.

Like I said before, Intelligent policy center have a lack of documentation and in my opinion is still on beta.

One question: Why don't you create the auto recovery on the Cisco itself ex: "errdisable recovery interval xx"?
