No, there isn't because you are thinking of this in the wrong way.  The
event is just an incoming event, one of hundreds in the event stream.  The
smartsets are just like filters -- you either pass them or you don't.  They
don't add anything to the event.  It remains unchanged.   If you wanted to
alter the event  you would have to have an action node ,which runs a script
to capture the event variables and send out a new event with some new piece
of information in a new variable, using snmptrap.  You could do that but it
would be a lot of work.   Some people do do this for TEC however.

Subject:  [NV-L] Smartsets and rules




I am using NetView 6.0.1 on AIX 4.3.3

I have a NetView rule that looks at 3 Smartsets. The 3 Smartsets were
created
using the nvdbimport utility. I am looking for "Node Down" and then I
forward to
TEC. One Smartset contains Lotus Notes hardware of various types (that's
why I
used the nvdbimport), another contains various Windows NT servers, and the
other
contains Tivoli Infrastructure machines. I have the rule set to forward a
Node
Down trap to TEC. My question is..... Is there a way to identify which
group the
Node Down came from? I hope this makes sense.
