Subscribing to Alert Groups
An alert group is a predefined subset of the Smart Call Home alerts that are supported on the ASA.

Information About the Message Severity Threshold
When you subscribe a destination profile to certain alert groups, you can set a threshold for sending alert
group messages based upon the message level severity. (See Table 1-1). Any message with a value lower
than the destination profile’s specified threshold is not sent to the destination.
