For anyone that might be interested. user_alert.conf will allow you to trigger perl scripts. there's F5 documentation that says it won't but it will.

 

The other part is that I used the alert code to trgger and then started going word by word till I found a solution that worked. I was trying to use the generic alert wording under /etc/alertd/bigip_gtmd_error_maps.h instead of using the snmp trap text itself. So use the /var/log/gtm to give you the exact wording and go from there.

 

Thanks everyone!
