Call Home Message Level Feature
The Call Home message level feature allows you to filter messages based on their level of urgency. Each
destination profile (predefined and user-defined) is associated with a Call Home message level threshold.
Any message with a value lower than the urgency threshold is not sent. The urgency level ranges from 0
(lowest level of urgency) to 9 (highest level of urgency), and the default is 0 (all messages are sent).
Call Home severity levels are not the same as system message logging severity levels.
Note

Setting the Call Home Message Levels Using the CLI

To set the message level for each destination profile for Call Home, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2

Step 3
switch(config-callhome)# destination-profile

switch(config-callhome)# no
destination-profile oldtest message-level 7

Syslog-Based Alerts

You can configure the switch to send certain syslog messages as Call Home messages. 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
Message Levels" section on page
level, syslog messages at levels 0, 1, and 2 are included in the Call Home log.
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—syslog-group-port) and configure the appropriate message level (see the
Level Feature" section on page
