What ultimately are you trying to do?   Tell us that first and perhaps we
can suggest how best to do it.   Your overrides in a ruleset will not
affect the trapd.log.  They only affect what happens to the event after you
change it.

Subject:  amending values in a netview snmp event





HI ALL,

I have an snmp event arriving in netview for which I would like to amend a
couple of the slot values i.e NVATTR_1 and NVATTR_2. Using an inline action
from the ruleset I am calling a script which does the needed conversion of
the attribute values and sets them correctly as a envirnoment variables.
The
problem is the script ends and these correct variables are then lost
forever
:-(.
Is there is a way read in the correct values back to NVATTR_1.
Is there a better way to do this.

Cheers
Marcel
