Anyone doing this successfully? I ask because TEC_ITS.rs is now unwieldy with both internal and external trap processing. We are also getting requests to perform additional filtering/processing on external traps prior to forwarding to TEC. It spooks me to think of doing this all in TEC_ITS. I thought a solution could be having a ruleset in ESE.automation that handles all external traps/processing. The forwarding to TEC would be handled by an Action node that fires a script invoking postemsg, or running postemsg directly and passing trap variables.

Alas, it appears that none of the TEC slot mappings are passed as variables to an action node. Nor are they passed to the environment if you run an automatic action in trapd.conf. I searched the list archives before posting this, good chance someone has already asked this same question. Too bad nvserverd can't work with more than one ruleset; that would be the ideal situation.

Thanks--
