Re: [nv-l] How to populate hostname in TEC slot mapping

Jane -

I took a quick look in the code and I think the man page left out the option you are looking for.
Try $AGENT_ADDR in your slot map in trapd.conf and see whether that gives you what you want. I can see where we pull it, but I cannot tell whether it gets resolved or not later on.

Subject	Re: [nv-l] How to populate hostname in TEC slot mapping

I am using the xnmtrap GUI where everything gets configured. The middle boxes specify the TEC class to map a TRAP to and the TEC slot mapping. It is the TEC slot mapping where I want access to a hostname variable. I know I can use $COMMUNITY, $ENTERPRISE, $SOURCE_TIME, $TYPE, $SPECIFIC and $V1 - 15 . NetView enterprise TRAPs generally have the second TRAP varbind as the hostname so for that I could use $V2 but many TRAPs don't include the "host with the problem" as a TRAP varbind - it's part of the SNMP/UDP/IP header after all and NetView obviously knows where it came from because he always displays it in the event workspace and make it available as the $A variable if you want to configure an action in the bottom box of the xnmptrap application. Does that make sense? Cheers, Jane James Shanks wrote: > > I'm confused Jane. > Where are you trying to specify the variable? In trapd.conf?
