Symptoms

Some of the log messages watched by alertd changed between BIG-IP software versions 10.x to versions 11.x/12.x. However, the /etc/alertd/alert_nokia.conf file has not been updated accordingly.

Impact

Matching the specific fields in the log message fails, so the corresponding alarm is not deleted from the nokia_alarm table. This might cause SNMP alerts to not be broadcast in Nokia-specific environments.

Conditions

Running versions 11.x/12.x and receiving targeted messages that match the 10.x regex key fields. This occurs when the Nokia snmp alarms are enabled. See K15435 at https://support.f5.com/csp/#/article/K15435

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The log messages watched by alertd and appearing in alert_nokia.conf now match each clear event key to its corresponding error definition, so alerts are recorded correctly.
