Custom alerts in 9.4.4 do not send email notifications
Greetings!
I'm banging my head against the wall..
custom alert from /conf/user_alert.conf does not send email notification when pool member is marked down by monitor.
/config/user_alert.conf looks like this:
alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_STATUS_251 "Pool member 192.168.253.251:80 monitor status down." {
email toaddress="xxx@xxx.com"
fromaddress="root-bip1@xxx.com"
body="*** Pool member 192.168.253.251 marked DOWN by monitor ***"
}
when I use logger -p local0.info "Pool member 192.168.253.251:80 monitor status down.", i get email notification from the BIG-IP..
when pool member is marked down by monitor and a new log record appears in /var/log/ltm file, no email alert is sent...
for example, /var/log/ltm has two log records:
Mar 31 13:58:28 bip root: Pool member 192.168.253.251:80 monitor status down.
Mar 31 13:58:49 bip mcpd[1772]: 01070638:5: Pool member 192.168.253.251:80 monitor status down.
first one was created by me using logger. Second one was recorded when actual monitor marked pool member down.
I got email message ONLY after using logger.
Please advice!
thanks!
