EMAIL to group ID in case Node in the pool goes down.

If you are running BIG-IP version 11.4.x, you can also use iCall. First, you need to follow the instructions in SOL13180 to configure outbound mail from the BIG-IP. Add the following to /config/user_alert.conf:

            alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_DOWN "Pool (.*?) member (.*?):(.*?) monitor status down." {
            email toaddress="receiver@yourcompany.com"
            fromaddress="root"
            body="A pool member went down"
            }

            alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_UP "Pool (.*?) member (.*?):(.*?) monitor status up." {
            email toaddress="receiver@yourcompany.com"
            fromaddress="root"
            body="A pool member came back up"
            }

HI I have tried it and dont see luck

i have configuredsimialr https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/100/sol13180.html and tested that i can send an test email form F5 with below command

echo "ssmtp test mail" | mail -vs "Test email for F5" kaladhar.vvs@fadv.com I see mail delivered but when i try Add the following to /config/user_alert.conf:

          alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_DOWN "Pool MAIL_TEST_POOL_80 member 10.250.7.79:8080 monitor status down." {
        email toaddress="kaladhar.vvs@fadv.com"
        fromaddress=""
        body="A pool member went dorootwn"
        }

        alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_UP "Pool MAIL_TEST_POOL_80 member 10.250.7.79:8080 monitor status up." {
        email toaddress="kaladhar.vvs@fadv.com"
        fromaddress="root"
        body="A pool member came back up"
        }

alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_DOWN "Pool MAIL_TEST_POOL_80 member 10.250.7.80:8080 monitor status down." { email toaddress="kaladhar.vvs@fadv.com" fromaddress="f5devtest" body="A pool member went down" }

        alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_UP "Pool MAIL_TEST_POOL_80 member 10.250.7.80:8080 monitor status up." {
        email toaddress="kaladhar.vvs@fadv.com"
        fromaddress="root"
        body="A pool member came back up"
        }

after configuring pool MAIL_TEST_POOL_80 with members 10.250.7.79:8080 and 10.250.7.80:8080 and making one of the node down f5 did not send an email. Am I missing some thing here??

I believe it should be like this:

    alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_MAIL_TEST_POOL_80 "Pool /Common/MAIL_TEST_POOL_80 member /Common/10.250.7.79:8080 monitor status node down." {
    email toaddress="kaladhar.vvs@fadv.com"
    fromaddress="root"
    body="A pool member went down"
    }

    alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_UP_MAIL_TEST_POOL_80 "Pool /Common/MAIL_TEST_POOL_80 member /Common/10.250.7.79:8080 monitor status up." {
    email toaddress="kaladhar.vvs@fadv.com"
    fromaddress="root"
    body="A pool member came back up"
    }    

Hi

Did you try the default emailing configuration of snmp alerts?

Hi Vikram, I did and it works. I replied to vsskaladhar with the settings I believe should work for single pool monitor alerting. It all comes down to checking the /var/log/ltm file to get the correct syntax to be used on the monitor configuration.

Regards

HI , I tested it and working for me. let me know if any input required form me

Cheers guys!
