The email message already includes the IP address and port in the email subject. I don't think the regex is applied to the syslog message when generating the body, so I don't think the expansion you've listed will work for getting the IP:port in the email body. I think there are some wildcards you can use in the email body. but I haven't been able to find any reference to them. Maybe you could open a case with F5 Support if you want to pursue this?

With this alert.conf entry:


alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS {
        snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.10";
        email toaddress="admin@example.com"
                fromaddress="root@bigip.example.com"
                body="Node Status Down!"
}

This email is sent:
