NimbostratusModify subject line for custom alerts
I ahve LTMs configured with custom alerts and they work great. The subject field is hardcoded with the log entry from the LTM. Since I want different distribtuion lists to received these alerts based on job groups, I'd like to make the subject field a little more understandable. Is it possible to modify the subject field? I'm running code 11.2.1.
Regards,
Tony Marques

EMAIL SUBJECT LINE

Tony_Marques_92No, although I'm not familiar with the logger plan that is mentioned.
- nitassi see. i guess you do not want to completely replace subject but modifying. as far as i know, it is not yet supported. i suggest you open a case and submit request for enhancement (rfe).
- Tony_Marques_92I don't mind changing the subject entirely. The link provided does not show ho to do that though. The following:
alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_NODE_ADDRESS_MON_STATUS_UP2 "Pool member x.x.x.:Y.Y.Y monitor status up." {
email toaddress="blah@blah.com"
fromaddress="sender@sender.com"
body="whatever you want"
Nothing there modifies or completely changes the subject field. - nitassthis is mine.

What code are you running?
- nitassWhat code are you running?it is 10.2.4 hf4. what is yours?

- nitassyes, you are correct. it does not work on my 11.3.0 box too. i have not found a way to make it. 😕
