Defining custom alerts
The
/etc/alertd/alert.conf
and the
/config/user_alert.conf
files on the BIG-IP system define
alerts that cause the indicators to change. The
/etc/alertd/alert.conf
file defines standard system
alerts, and the
/config/user_alert.conf
file defines custom settings.
Note: You should edit only the
/config/user_alert.conf
file.
1. Open a command prompt on the system.
2. Change to the
/config
directory.
cd /config
3. Using a text editor, such as vi or Pico, open the
/config/user_alert.conf
file.
4. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
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"
}
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"
}
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"
}
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"
}
5. Save the file and exit the text editor.
The front panel LEDs now indicate when a node is down.
Additional indicator LED status conditions
A few LED status conditions are not covered in the definition tables in the
/etc/alertd/alert.conf
file.
