Feb 08, 2012Extra SNMP Alert triggered
I have a few custom alerts setup in user_alert.conf that execute a perl script with an argument when triggered.
Issue I'm having is that a "No members available for pool" alert is also triggering my "Node status Down" alert which is resulting in the alert being processed twice.
Here is the error in the ltm log:
Feb 5 09:09:08 tmm err tmm[5905]: 01010028:3: No members available for pool /Common/test_poolHere are the 2 custom alerts that both seem to be triggered:
alert CUSTOM_GENERAL_POOL_NO_MEMBER "No members available for pool (.*?)" {
exec command="/root/customAlertHandler.pl general"
}
alert CUSTOM_ERROR_POOL_MEMBER_STATUS_NODEDOWN "Pool (.*?) member (.*?) monitor status node down\." {
exec command="/root/customAlertHandler.pl nodeDown"
}I'm unable to figure out why the Node Down alert is also being triggered by that error. Any ideas?

have you tried to restart alertd (bigstart restart alertd)? - James_41261

I've restarted alertd several times and I'm still seeing the same issue - nitass

i have no idea yet.
by the way, if you test by using logger command, both perl scripts are triggered right away, aren't they?

That's the funny thing, if I test using the logger command everything works exactly as it should. It's when a new pool is added without members or members are removed from an existing pool in the GUI that I'm able to reproduce the issue.
