Hello Prashant,

You could create a logging list and log the following messages to your email address:

%ASA-1-735007 CPU var1: Temp: var2 var3, Critical

•%ASA-1-735022: CPU# is running beyond the max thermal operating temperature and the device will be shutting down immediately to prevent permanent damage to the CPU.

%ASA-3-211003: CPU utilization for number seconds = percent

•%ASA-2-735023: ASA was previously shutdown due to the CPU complex running beyond the max thermal operating temperature. The chassis needs to be inspected immediately for ventilation issues.

I think the one you are going to check the most is the syslog ID:  211003
