Log in to the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh) by typing the following command:

tmsh

To configure the system to send locally generated email messages, use the following command syntax:

modify /sys outbound-smtp mailhub <mail_server>:<port>

To save the configuration, type the following command:

save /sys config

Optional: If the SMTP mail host supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/TLS authentication but does not establish a secure connection automatically, you must add the following four additional parameters into the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf configuration file:

UseSTARTTLS=yes
UseTLS=yes
AuthUser=<SMTP-Account-Username>
AuthPass=<SMTP-Account-Password>

Verify that ssmtp is configured properly and can send an email message:

echo "ssmtp test mail" | mail -vs "Test email" [email protected]

To modify the permissions on the user_alert.conf file to include write access, type the following command:

chmod 644 /config/user_alert.conf

alert BIGIP_SHELL_BP_CONFIGURATION_LOADED {
 snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.28";
 email toaddress="[email protected]"
 fromaddress="root"
 body="New configuration loaded"
 }

alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_DOWN "Pool (.*?) member (.*?):(.*?) monitor status down." {
 snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.10";
 lcdwarn description="Node down" priority="1"
 email toaddress="[email protected]"
 fromaddress="root"
 body="A pool member went down"
}

alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_UP "Pool (.*?) member (.*?):(.*?) monitor status up." {
 snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.11"
 email toaddress="[email protected]"
 fromaddress="root"
 body="A pool member came back up"
}


alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_NODE_ADDRESS_MON_DOWN "Node (.*?) monitor status down." {
 snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.12";
 lcdwarn description="Node address down" priority="1"
 email toaddress="[email protected]"
 fromaddress="root"
 body="A node went down"
}


alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_NODE_ADDRESS_MON_UP "Node (.*?) monitor status up." {
 snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.13"
 email toaddress="[email protected]"
 fromaddress="root"
 body="A node came up"
}
