the SMTP alerts will tell you when a carp cluster change occurs, but no
details on what exactly it was.

they also tell you about other events such as when one member of a gateway
group goes down (but not when it comes back up, curiously).

not sure what else, as those are the only two types of failures i've been
alerted to over the last years. (knock wood...)
