Call Home not working after upgrade.

User_4444_2
Level 1
Level 1

After we upgraded from 3.3(1c) to 5.2(2) our Call Home has stopped sending emails when any host logs out/into any of the switches. Nothing else has changed, the same profles exist with the same “MsgLevel” settings.

In the release notes for 4.2(1b) it states; “In MDS NX-OS Release 4.2(1b), CFS cannot distribute the following Call Home commands that can be

configured with the destination-profile command:

                    • destination-profile profile_name transport-method

                    • destination-profile profile_name http”

That does not show up when we run “sh running-config callhome”.

We can still run a Test or Inventory without any issues and we receive the emails.

Thanks

Hi,

The interface with logging level 5 is probably a port-channel.

You can look at the raw output of the command to be sure.

Since you can't | to (5), you can capture the output to a file, then search the text file.

Regards,

David.

Hi,

The upgrade got you a new knob to change the syslog level for link failures.

For syslogPortGrup to callhome the syslog level needs to be critical.

Is this what you are looking for?

config

logging level port link-failure crit

My callhome test worked with this config.

callhome

  email-contact sysadmin@cisco.com.com

  phone-contact +1-800-555-5555

  streetaddress 123 Main Street, USA

  destination-profile full_txt email-addr test@cisco.com

  destination-profile short_txt email-addr test@cisco.com

  destination-profile xml email-addr test@cisco.com

  no destination-profile full_txt alert-group all

  destination-profile full_txt alert-group RMON

  no destination-profile short_txt alert-group all

  destination-profile short_txt alert-group RMON

  destination-profile full_txt alert-group test

  destination-profile short_txt alert-group test

  no destination-profile xml alert-group all

  transport email from switchname@db.com

  transport email reply-to no-reply@db.com

  transport email smtp-server a.b.c.d port 25

  enable

exit

Did the change but when I run "sh logg level port" afterwards it was the same as before? Still at 5 (Notifi).

Facility        Default Severity        Current Session Severity
--------        ----------------        ------------------------
port                    5                       5

0(emergencies)          1(alerts)       2(critical)
3(errors)               4(warnings)     5(notifications)

HI,

Thanks for the feedback.

I need to research or open a new bug for 'port link-failure' not listed in the output of 'show logging level'.

Check the output of ...

9513-2(config)# show port internal info all | i syslog

Global link failure syslog level = 2   <------ global level

    Link failure syslog level (5)     <----- interface level

The workaround for ....

CSCti92353    IF_DOWN_LINK_FAILURE_CRIT not generated

... is ..  

After upgrading to a release with the fix you will need to reconfigure the link-failure logging level to activate the fix.

   Config

   no logging level port link-failure crit

   logging level port link-failure crit

9513-2(config)# no logging level port link-fail crit

From my lab switch...

9513-2(config)# show port internal info all | i syslog
Global link failure syslog level = 2   <------ global level
    Link failure syslog level (5)     <----- interface level
    Link failure syslog level (5)
    Link failure syslog level (5)
    Link failure syslog level (5)

9513-2(config)# no logging level port link-fail crit

9513-2(config)# logging level port link-fail crit

9513-2(config)# show port internal info all | i syslog
Global link failure syslog level = 2
    Link failure syslog level (2)
    Link failure syslog level (2)
    Link failure syslog level (2)
    Link failure syslog level (2)
    Link failure syslog level (2)
    Link failure syslog level (2)
    Link failure syslog level (2)

Regards,

David

Strange, all of them say 2 except for one of them three from the bottom? I will wait for the email to arrive.

That did fix the problem but the emails are much bigger than before, shows lots of the last logouts/logins. Might be "show logging logfile | tail -n 200" that shows up in the email.

Thanks
