Don't know about in the ruleset, but you might use printf in the slot map
dialog. I haven't tried this but was just reading about it yesterday. In
the event configuration Slot Map you would put something like this:

hostname    PRINTF ("%s-1",$A)

Hello,
NetView 7.1.3 on AIX 4.3
Can we setup a rule to append any suffix to the host name before forwarding
the event to TEC?
for example if the system name is "xyz" this would be in the event as
"xyz-1"

The reason for that is we have duplicate short names





Regards!
