Hello, I think you're going to need to do this with a custom /config/user_alert.conf file. It can accept a regex-type filter syntax. Here's an example that might work:

 

 

alert LOGNOICE1 "Pool member 10.10.10.48:80 monitor status (.*)" {

 

email toaddress="admins@mycompany.com";

 

}

 

 

You'll also need to configure postfix so send messages to a real mail server.

 

 

This is what I do and it works really well, though manually editing the useralert.conf can be tedious. Depending on the application, I may have support, managers, and admins all getting these alerts, so I usually setup distros for each app/service and send to those vs sending to individuals..
