Email Alert on F5 GTM

Hi, I am trying to configure email alert in GTM and some forums were very helpful to get this done. Now I need to send multiple lines in body field through email when event triggers. when I use single line (config attached), it works fine but multiple lines dont work.

 

Is there any limitation of this body field or any syntax for that?

 

 

 

Thanks!!!

    Hi Ashish,

     

     

    If you are planning to send multi line mail, I would recommend you to create a temp file will all the required data (Body of the mail. Can be multiple lines) and use the linux command to send mail.

     

     

    mail -s "" <

     

     

    Eg:

     

     

    mail -s "Test message from F5" abcdef@f5.com < /var/tmp/test.tmp

     

     

    where, test.tmp has the body of the mail.

     

     

     

    - Santosh.

    Thanks Santosh, I can use this method and send the email manually. But I want the same when snmp trap triggers. I used below but was getting """"local/gtm-cidc emerg logger: Re-starting alertd"""" errors

     

     

    alert MEX_POOL_DOWN "SNMP_TRAP: Pool Proxy_Mex state change green --> red (Pool Proxy_MeX: No enabled pool members available)" {

     

    snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.655"

     

    }

     

     

     

    alert MEX_POOL_DOWN "SNMP_TRAP: Pool Proxy_Mex state change green --> red (Pool Proxy_Mex: No enabled pool members available)" {

     

    snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.655";

     

    mail -s "testmail" xxx@f5.com < /tmp/email_test.tmp

     

    }
