Looking to create an alert monitor when a specific user creates, modifies, and/or deletes an object

Hey Community,

 

I am looking to configure an alert that sends an email when a specific user creates, modifies, and/or deletes an object. I found this page:

 

https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K30371285

 

I found this code on the page:

 

alert <filter_name> "object (.*) - create" {

email toaddress="<email address>"

fromaddress="<bigip user>"

body="<text message>"

 

} alert <filter_name> "object (.*) - obj_delete" {

email toaddress="<email address>"

fromaddress="<bigip user>"

body="<text message>"

 

} alert <filter_name> "object (.*) - modify" {

email toaddress="<email address>"

fromaddress="<bigip user>"

body="<text message>"

}

 

And it works but it always sends an email when any user makes a change. Just wondering if there is a way to tweak this so i don't receive emails when admin or root makes changes etc....

    You can use the respective regex as follows:

    ^((?!.*user (admin|root) -.*).)*object (.*) - modify.*$
    ^((?!.*user (admin|root) -.*).)*object (.*) - create.*$
    ^((?!.*user (admin|root) -.*).)*object (.*) - obj_delete.*$

    .

    This could be resource intensive, though.
