NimbostratusConfiguration Assistance: Configure Email Alerts for HA Failover Events and Device Offline
We have a BIG-IP VE High Availability Pair deployed in Microsoft Azure.
We need to configure the BIG-IP to automatically send an email notification to our Operations teams immediately when a Failover event occurs(When the unit goes from Active to Standby or Offline)
Could you provide the recommended procedure for the configuration to trigger these email alerts?

Heyzaid_bhati, have you read this article: https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K3667
I am not sure which OID you’ll need, but you should be able to find it in the MIB.
Why don’t you rely on monitoring instead of the system notifying you? Even the Application Study Tool can report this for you. Using Grafana Alert Manager you can then notify your team.
zaid_bhatiHow using Grafana Alert Manager?

With Grafana Alert Manager you can configure alerts based on queries in your Prometheus data for example. If you notice the change you can then use Grafana Alert Manager to notify your team. I set this up myself to do Grafana alerts for other metrics I have in Grafana. Not yet set it up for a F5 cluster.
