NimbostratusEmail alerts while pool member up or down
We have some pools on which we want to setup email alerts so that whenever nodes are in and out of the pool they notify .
Do we have a step by step solution to implement this?

EmployeeIf you are not going to customize the email message body or the trap OID on a per-pool basis, you may wish to use the matching method described above (though separate stanzas should work, too). If you will customize the message body and/or the OID, then I do believe you'll need to employ separate alertd stanzas, as you have above (but with pool names in the matcher string, of course).
F5Zan_89516So I created these two below alerts but did not receive anything. I have tested my smtp relay is functioning properly alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_CQ5_AUTH_QA_4504 "Pool /Common/CQ5_AUTH_QA_4504 member (10.14.90.60|10.14.90.61):4504 monitor status Down." { snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.10" email toaddress="xxx@abc.com" fromaddress="root" body="A pool member went down" } alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_UP_CQ5_AUTH_QA_4504 "Pool /Common/CQ5_AUTH_QA_4504 member (10.14.90.60|10.14.90.61):4504 monitor status up." { snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.11" email toaddress="xxx@abc.com" fromaddress="root" body="A pool member went up" } Am I missing something here? syntax or soemthing else? Also i would like to know command to display smtp queue but couldn't find one- VernonWellsI didn't test your exact configuration, but I did notice that between ":4504" and "monitor" there are two spaces in both of your stanzas. Were those directly copy-and-pasted? If so, the extra space will cause a non-match. I also noticed that the word "Down" is capitalized, but I believe that in the actual log message, it is lower-case (i.e., "down"). If removing the space and altering the case don't do it, what is the exact line in the log when the pool member transitions to a "down" status, and what is the exact line when it transitions to an "up" status?
Anthony_PinedaJust a follow-up on this. Is the use of snmptrap OID statement necessary or optional? If necessary should we not use custom snmptrap OID number range between 300 and 999 so as not to conflict with other OIDs?- nitasssnmptrap is not mandatory. if you just want email only, you can remove snmptrap line.
Phani_Teja_Paranitass, have you got the solution?
