Customized Alert Group Messages

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 valid 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.
Note You can assign a maximum of five user-defined show commands to an alert group. Only show commands
can be assigned to an alert group.
Customized show commands are only supported for full text and XML alert groups. Short text alert
Note
groups (short-txt-destination) do not support customized show commands because they only allow 128
bytes of text.
To assign show commands to be executed when an alert is sent, you must associate the commands with
the alert group. When an alert is sent, Call Home associates the alert group with an alert type and attaches
the output of the show commands to the alert message.
Note Make sure the destination profiles for a non-Cisco-TAC alert group, with a predefined show command,
and the Cisco-TAC alert group are not the same.
To customize Call Home alert group messages using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Expand Switches, expand Events, and select Call Home in the Physical Attributes pane.
Step 1
Click the User Defined Command tab in the Information pane.
