Jane,

I didn't define a specific slot mapping for hostname, just defined the
trap in a ruleset to forward it to TEC.
This should be sufficient for just trap forwarding. 

HTH,

Bernard

Hi Bernard,
Thanks for this.  The hostname would contain dashes - our DNS is 
skills-1st.  What variable did you use to populate the hostname to
TEC???

Thanks,
Jane
