Hmm, This seems not a real use case of F5 BIGIP. You can send new connection log to log server with help of HSL irule & it will utilize more cpu and risk of failover active device frequently.

However if your requirement is strict with mail trigger for every conenction then use TCL function in HSL iRule.

Happy iRulling...

    Asim_IIPL Based on the article below and how you want to generate the alert I do not believe you have any other option but to send logs and then generate an email based on that log entry. Keep in mind that if this VS is a high connection VS you will be sending a significant amount of logs and emails. This seems like a bad plan from the get go and is a recipe for disaster because you could generate thousands of email alerts. Please look into this a bit further to ensure you have no other option but to generate emails in this way.
