    Try this, see Configuring alerts to send email notifications to enable email and then create a custom SNMP trap, see Configuring custom SNMP traps. Then you need to enable Audit logging inthe GUI.

    For the custom trap, when you make an Audit change it makes an entry similar to this:

    notice mcpd[7739]: 01070417:5: AUDIT - client tmui, user admin - transaction 3514906-3 - object 0 - create { node_address { node_address_name "/Common/test1" node_address_description "" node_address_addr 2.2.2.3 node_address_conn_limit 0 node_address_ratio 1 node_address_rate_limit 0 node_address_monitor_rule "" node_address_update_status 1 } } [Status=Command OK]

    So you could match on the work "transaction" perhaps to generate the trap and email?

    Hope this helps,
