About Customized Alert Group Messages

An alert group is a predefined subset of Call Home alerts supported in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. Alert groups allow you to select the set of Call Home alerts to be received by a destination profile (predefined or user-defined). The predefined Call Home alert groups generate notification messages when certain events occur on the switch. You can customize predefined alert groups to execute additional show commands when specific events occur. The output from these additional show commands is included in the notification message along with that of the predefined show commands.

To customize Call Home alert group messages using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand Switches, expand Events, and select Call Home in the Physical Attributes pane.
  2. Click the User Defined Command tab in the Information pane.
  3. Click the Create Row icon.
  4. Select the alert group type from the Alert Group Type drop-down list.
  5. Specify an ID for the CLI command from the available range. The ID is used to keep track of the messages.
  6. Enter the CLI show command in the CLI Command field.
  7. Click Create.
  8. Repeat Steps 3-7 for each command you want to associate with the profile.
