I have the following user_alert.conf (version 9.4.2 228.18) alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_UP "Pool member 172.29.4.141:80 monitor status up." { email toaddress="p.chang@f5.com" fromaddress="root@vanguard.f5.com" body="pool member went up" } alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS "Pool member 172.29.4.141:80 mon itor status down." { email toaddress="p.chang@f5.com" fromaddress="root@vanguard.f5.com" body="pool member went down" } I only want to receive e-mails when Pool member 172.29.4.141:80 goes up or down. However, I get e-mails when any pool member goes up or down. How do I set up the alert for specific pool members?

You should be able to create a custom SNMP trap using this format: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/3000/700/sol3727.html?sr=826826 alert "" { snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.XXX" } If you change BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS to something that's not the same as the default alert name, do you get the email notification only for that specific node?

I changed it like it said in the to the following: alert BIGIP_MCPD_CUSTOM_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_UP "Pool member 172.29.4.141:80 monitor status up." { snmptrap OID= ".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.998"; email toaddress="p.chang@f5.com" fromaddress="root@vanguard.f5.com" body="pool member went up" } alert BIGIP_MCPD_CUSTOM_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_DOWN "Pool member 172.29.4.141:80 monitor status down." { snmptrap OID= ".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.999"; email toaddress="p.chang@f5.com" fromaddress="root@vanguard.f5.com" body="pool member went down" } Now, I don't get any e-mails.

Patrick,

"BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_UP" and "BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS" are system pre-defined "alert names" (see /etc/alertd/bigip_mcpd_error_maps.h).

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to re-define those in user_alert.conf. Better use another alert_name, as described by nitass (CUSTOM_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_DOWN).

Regards

Kurt Knochner
