Craig -
Are you passing the NVATTR variables to your script, or just referencing 
them?
To pass them you must enclose them in quotation marks, because otherwise 
the shell will stop as the first space when it instantiates the variable.
For example, to pass your variables you'd need to say
   <full_path>myscript  "NVATTR_1"  "NVATTR_2"  "NVATTR_3" 
and so on.
But because these are exported  you can just use them in your script. 
If you are going to echo them to file, then you could just say
        echo "var1 = " NVATTR_1  >>  myfile
right in the script.

        Subject:        [nv-l] Formatting trap variables like "$+1"

 

I am having trouble implementing James Shanks' solution to Karin Binder's 
problem back in February and am hoping somebody can help me.

This is the question I'm referring to:

http://www.vk.net/tivoli/Netview-List.nsf/4a25624e007bfc5c85255a850068ca27/5bf179679b67e533ca256b6600544312!OpenDocument
 

Basically, James suggested using the "$+1" formatting of a trap variable.

It seems straightforward, but I think I am missing something.

I have a similar situation with Cisco HSRP state change traps.
I can format the variable in the trap by doing the "$+1", and in the 
events display I do get:
"cHsrpGrpEntry.cHsrpGrpStandbyState.8.0 6", but when I look at the 
"NVATTR_*" variables passed to my script in an action node all I have is:
NVA=[offline-dist-1-l3.net.principal.com]
NVATTR_1=[6]
NVATTR_2=[3]
NVATTR_3=[A]
NVATTR_4=[4]

What am I missing to make this work?  I'm trying to use the "8.0" to 
eventually do some SNMP gets and figure out which interface had the HSRP 
state change.

Thanks for any help.

Craig
