My action has defined like that

echo `date +"%r %d %h" ` $NVA $NV_ATTR1 $NV_ATTR2 $NV_ATTR3 $NV_ATTR4
$NV_ATTR4 | mail abc@xyz.com

And here is some of the result :

09:32:36 AM 09 Aug Device1 IBM 8250 - Module 4 Down ( This trap generated by
NETMON) - meaingful OK

09:29:49 AM 09 Aug Device1 3 3 2 7 A    ( This trap generated by IBM 8260 )
-meaningless

For the second examples, all the attribute provided can not give me
meaningful information. I really can't specify each action for each type of
this specific events. But , the event browser of control desk can recongize
this type of event - because it allow me to define each event in the event
configuration. ( i have tried to define the action within event configuation
for each event  - but in here no any ruleset can be implied - it will take
the action immediately after receiving the trap ).

Is there any solution for the case like second examples ?

Thanks
