login to OWA and alert if failed..

Which authentication methods does the server accept? Basic auth would be simple to do in a standard HTTP or HTTPS monitor. NTLM auth would require using an external monitor.

 

 

Either option would allow you to set up an email alert based on the pool failing. Here is a post which covers both monitor options:

 

 

HTTP Monitor that follows redirects

And a post which describes how to configue alertd to send an email for an alert:

 

 

Email notification of node/vs down

First, you'd want to associate a monitor on the pool. Then you need to configure postfix to send mail remotely. And then configure alertd to send email. There are a few related solutions on AskF5 that you can use as a guide for this:
