user_alert.conf not working

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the great summary. Custom alertd scripts came up recently for a customer scenario. In a quick test on 10.2.3, it does look like you can have multiple exec commands for one alert:

 cat /config/user_alert.conf
alert user_alert.conf_test "my custom trigger string" {
   exec command="echo 'echo test1 from user_alert.conf'>> /var/log/ltm";
   exec command="echo 'echo test2 from user_alert.conf'>> /var/log/ltm";
   exec command="/var/tmp/script1.bash";
   exec command="/var/tmp/script2.bash";
}

 cat /var/tmp/script1.bash
!/bin/bash
echo "running $0" >> /var/log/ltm

generate a test log message

logger -p local0.info "my custom trigger string"

output written to /var/log/ltm
Mar 23 07:49:11 local/ve10a info root: my custom trigger string
echo test1 from user_alert.conf
echo test2 from user_alert.conf
running /var/tmp/script1.bash
running /var/tmp/script2.bash

I've requested to have your notes added to an AskF5 solution.

Thanks again,

Aaron
