Chapter 1      Configuring Anonymous Reporting and Smart Call Home

  Feature History for Anonymous Reporting and Smart Call Home

Anonymous Reporting

8.2(5)/8.4(2)

You can help to improve the ASA platform by enabling 
Anonymous Reporting, which allows Cisco to securely 
receive minimal error and health information from a device.

We introduced the following commands: 

call-home 

reporting anonymous

, 

call-home test reporting 

anonymous

.

Smart Call Home

9.0(3)

A Smart Call Home message is sent to Cisco to report 
important cluster events if you have enabled clustering and 
configured Smart Call Home to subscribe to the Diagnostic 
alert group with a Critical severity level. A Smart Call 
Home clustering message is sent for only the following 
three events:

•

When a unit joins the cluster

•

When a unit leaves the cluster 

•

When a cluster unit becomes the cluster master

Each message that is sent includes the following 
information:

•

The active cluster member count

•

The output of the 

show cluster info

 command and the 

show cluster history

 command on the cluster master
