Syslog-Based Alerts

</h1>
<a name="wp1126920"> </a><p class="pBody">
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. 

</p>
<a name="wp1126921"> </a><p class="pBody">
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 group&#8212;syslog-group-port) and configure the appropriate 
message level.

</p>
<a name="wp1126922"> </a><p class="pBody">
The syslog-group-port alert group selects syslog messages for the port facility. The Call Home 
application maps the syslog severity level to the corresponding Call Home severity level (see the <a href="Call20.html">&quot;Call 
Home Message Levels&quot; topic</a>). For example, if you select level 5 for the Call Home message level, syslog 
messages at levels 0, 1, and 2 are included in the Call Home log.

</p>
<a name="wp1126926"> </a><p class="pBody">
Whenever a syslog message is generated, the Call Home application sends a Call Home message 
depending on the mapping between the destination profile and the alert group mapping and based 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 
group&#8212;syslog-group-port) and configure the appropriate message level (see the <a href="Call20.html">&quot;Call Home Message 
Levels&quot; topic</a>).

</p>
<a name="wp1126930"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> Call Home does not change the syslog message level in the message text. The syslog message texts in 
the Call Home log appear as they are described in the <span style="font-style: italic">Cisco MDS 9000 Family and Nexus 7000 Series 
System Messages Reference</span>.
