Hi All

Despite the syntax used from the document K3667, I have the error ' Feb 22 19:47:42 localhost emerg logger: Re-starting alertd'.

The error is looping. I have to copy an empty user_alert.conf file in order to stop it.

Below the conf added into file /config/user_alert.conf with the rights 644: 
alert BIGIP_LIBHAL_HALERR_BLADE_POWERED_OFF {  
    snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.119";  
    lcdwarn description="Blade is about to be powered off." priority="4"  
    email toaddress="..."  
    fromaddress="..."  
    body="The test of this Solution worked!"  
}

Thanks for help

Greeting,

I took a quick peek at the article and didn't notice any mention of lcdwarn or description.

I removed those and it's working:

alert BIGIP_LIBHAL_HALERR_BLADE_POWERED_OFF {  
    snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.119";  
    email toaddress="..."  
    fromaddress="..."  
    body="The test of this Solution worked!"  
}

Hopefully those aren't necessary for you?

Kevin
