FWIW, I am able to do custom alerts in 9.4.6 that send out SNMP traps.

 

     
 alert EXPIRING_SSL_CERT "Certificate (.*) in file (.*) will expire on (.*)"     
 { snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.500" }

 

Not sure why that works and an email version wouldn't...

I guess it's due to there is no alert code for EXPIRING_SSL_CERT or the log message. But when alertd receives input from syslog-ng utility that matches an alert code, the alert code is mapped to the alert name (taken from SOL6420).

 

   
 ltm  grep EXPIRING_SSL_CERT /var/run/bigip_error_maps.dat   
 ltm

 

 

CMIIW please ...
