F5 E-mail alerting

Does anyone know if there is a way to setup F5 e-mail alerts anytime someone makes a change in the configuration? Currently using LTMs on v10.

    Hi Kris,

     

     

    You could set up email and DNS resolution, enable audit logging on MCP and bigpipe and then configure a custom filter on syslog-ng for parsing the audit log. There are individual solutions on AskF5 for these steps. Try searching there and reply here if you get stuck.

    I actually asked this same question to support. They said the Bigip has an snmp trap for it, and that i could use the alert.conf file to configure it to send email alerts. I am already doing this for other alerting. Here is the trap:

     

     

    Name bigipConfigLoaded

     

    OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.28

     

     

    Have not tried it yet.
