Dirk,
When you use "Reset On Match" you don't want to compare the events
to see if they match, you want to compare the "Node Names" to see
if THEY match.  You'll already know that one was caused by a
"Node Down", and the other was caused by a "Node Up" if you filter
them thru a "Trap Settings" rule.

Hi there,

we are running NetView 4.1 for AIX 4.2.1 and try to create a special
ruleset. Our purpose is to wait 10 minutes between a "node up" and a "node
down" event. If both events, concerning the same node, occur within the
given time no action (like sending a mail) should take place (e.g. reset on
match). Vice versa an action should start after 10 minutes.
We tried so with a two-path rule. One path for "node up" and one for "node
down", both leading into a "reset on match"-block. The "reset on match"
compares both incoming slots, whether the two (different) events occured.
Example in pseudo-code:
IF WHITHIN 10 MINUTES "node down" NOT EQUAL TO "node up" = TRUE then RESET
else ACTION sendmail

Futhermore we do not understand the features:
- "reset on match" SLOTS ? What are the slots for ? "node up" = slot 1;
"node down" = slot 2 ?
- match on multiple events ?
- how are contents of parameters (like a local or global variables) given to
a invoked program like mail(-daemon) ?

best regards
