    Hi Pooja,

    I have similar problem and posted a question about it. I tried several solutions, and to call a script from user_alert.conf but it fails.

    Can you make a try by adding, to the /config/user_alert.conf, a new stanza like that:

    alert BIGIP_TEST "IP monitor status down" { 
    snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.12"; 
    email toaddress="email address" 
    fromaddress="donotreply@statoil.com" 
    body="Service DOWN" 
}

    ?

    As for the "IP" in the first row specify the ip address for one specific node.

    Regards,

    Preslav

Your "matched message" has to be more specific. Your snmp oid value is unique, dont think its used anywhere in the configs. But when you say, your are seeing mail alerts triggered for multiple pools (pool_a pool_b pool_c pool_test etc etc) status changes ? But whereas you have configured just pool_test in your alert.conf file ?
