Configuring a Destination Profile

A destination profile includes the following information:

One or more alert groups—The group of alerts that trigger a specific Smart Call Home message if the alert occurs.
One or more email destinations—The list of recipients for the Smart Call Home messages generated by alert groups assigned to this destination profile.
Message format—The format for the Smart Call Home message (short text, full text, or XML).
Message severity level—The Smart Call Home severity level that the alert must meet before Cisco NX-OS generates a Smart Call Home message to all email addresses in the destination profile. Cisco NX-OS does not generate an alert if the Smart Call Home severity level of the alert is lower than the message severity level set for the destination profile. You can also configure a destination profile to allow periodic inventory update messages by using the inventory alert group that will send out periodic messages daily, weekly, or monthly.

Cisco NX-OS supports the following predefined destination profiles:

CiscoTAC-1—Supports the Cisco-TAC alert group in XML message format. This profile is preconfigured with the callhome@cisco.com email contact, maximum message size, and message severity level 0. You cannot change any of the default information for this profile.
full-text-destination—Supports the full text message format.
short-text-destination—Supports the short text message format.
