> # Associating an Alert Group

> Different types of Call Home alerts are grouped into different alert groups depending on their type. You can associate one or more alert groups to each profile as required by your network.

> The alert group feature allows you to select the set of Call Home alerts to be received by a destination profile (either predefined or user-defined). You can associate multiple alert groups with a destination profile.

> ## Restrictions

> - A Call Home alert is sent to e-mail destinations in a destination profile only if that Call Home alert belongs to one of the alert groups associated with that destination profile.

> ## Detailed Steps

> To associate an alert group with a destination profile, follow these steps:

> 1. Expand Events and select Call Home in the Physical Attributes pane.
> 2. Click the Profiles tab in the Information pane.

> You see the Call Home profiles for multiple switches.

> 3. Click the Alert Groups column in the row for the profile you want to associate.

> You see the alert groups drop-down menu.

> 4. Click an alert group to select it for association.
> 5. You see a check next to that alert group. To deselect it and remove the check, click it again.
> 6. Click the Apply Changes icon.
