Command History
Usage Guidelines The Call Home configuration commands are available in the
(config-callhome) submode.
A Call Home message is used to contact a support person or organization in case an urgent alarm is
raised.
Once you have configured the contact information, you must enable the Call Home function. The enable
command is required for the Call Home function to start operating. When you disable the Call Home
function, all input events are ignored.
Note Even if Call Home is disabled, basic information for each Call Home event is sent to syslog.
The user-def-cmd command allows you to define a command whose outputs should be attached to the
callhome message being sent. Only show commands can be specified and they must be associated with
an alert group. Five commands can be specified per alert group. Invalid commands are rejected.
Note Customized show commands are only supported for full text and XML alert groups. Short text alert
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 the non-Cisco-TAC alert group, with a predefined show command,
and the Cisco-TAC alert group are not the same.
