Alert.conf file

Any idea where to get the info on what each alert string means and does within the alert.conf file?  
LTM
security

they are coming in every minute or so..yes it started after I dropped the posted config lines. Just emails we are not sending snmp at this point. says ltm is not a directory. but the pool is up and so are the nodes and i can still see the emails flooding inbound up/down

    The syntax of the config lines you posted above looks correct. ltm is the log file that will contain the pool member up/down syslog messages. Use less, more, tail to view it.

    [root@LAB-01:Active:Changes Pending] config cd /var/log/ltm -bash: cd: /var/log/ltm: Not a directory [root@LAB-01:Active:Changes Pending] config

    ltm is a file not a directory. Do this command to see messages as they are written to the ltm log file: [root@inst:Active:Standalone] config tail -f /var/log/ltm Jan 29 13:35:32 inst info sshd[13349]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for root from 192.168.17.30 port 57850 ssh2 Jan 29 13:58:05 inst notice mcpd[7658]: 01071682:5: SNMP_TRAP: Virtual /Common/lab10_vs has become unavailable Jan 29 13:58:05 inst notice mcpd[7658]: 01071682:5: SNMP_TRAP: Virtual /Common/vs_ssl has become unavailabl If there are no messages logged here when you see email alerts then that is odd. Does each alert message have a different timestamp? It might be time to open a case with F5 support.
