Reference the article posted by deb a few days ago:

After reading this article, I...
I think I understand the what the two conf files are used for. And I think I understand this which is stated very clearly:
alertd looks in bigip_error_maps.dat to find the alert code, and if found, uses the corresponding alert name to map back to the alert definition in alert.conf.
What I am having difficulty grasping is this:
The system will also match on any match strings explicitly defined in either conf file and execute the defined alert action.
Let me try a different approach to my question: does alertd look for a match string in the bigip_error_maps.dat file when it receives a message from syslog-ng?
