Email 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?

If 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).

I 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?
