About Syslog-Based Alerts
You can configure the switch to send certain syslog messages as Call Home messages. The messages are sent based on the mapping between the destination profile and the alert group mapping, and on the severity level of the generated syslog message.
To receive a syslog-based Call Home alert, you must associate a destination profile with the syslog alert groups (currently there is only one syslog alert groupsyslog-group-port) and configure the appropriate message level.
To configure the syslog-group-port alert group using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
- Select a switch in the Fabric pane.
- Expand Switches, expand Events, and select Call Home in the Physical Attributes pane.
- Click the Profiles tab.
- Click the Create Row icon.
- Select the switches for which you want to send alerts.
- Enter the name of the profile in the Name field.
- Choose the message format, message size, and message severity level.
- Check the syslogGroupPort check box in the AlertGroups section.
- Click Create to create the profile for the syslog-based alerts.
