what do you mean by past probe failures? When BIG-IP marks a server down, or when your NMS cannot reach BIG-IP?

 

You can configure BIG-IP to send email and configure what alerts will trigger a mail event.

 

Regarding SNMP monitoring, you can configure versions 1, 2c, or 3 for read only or read write and narrow the management devices by IP or credentials as necessary. You can download the cacti template (even if not using cacti, the oids you might use are in the template).
