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

Sure thing!

 

So, internally, TMM is picking this message up "BIGIP_LIBHAL_HALERR_BLADE_POWERED_OFF".

 

Then it sends the trap with that OID. You could type anything in actually.

 

Have you following this article for configuring the SMTP mailhub on BIG-IP?

Lastly, if you are using domain names, have you set up a DNS name server on BIG-IP?

 

Thanks,
