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.

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
