I am not certain what you mean. If, for example, the agent always sends what
you want to see in the the thrid variable, (as NetView often does) then you
would simply have your event log message say : $3
If this is not helpful, then I think you had better provide some examples of
what the traps look like.

Hello,
It appears that the traps being sent to the netview station all have the same
generic and specific id's but different descriptions. How do I define these ?
Thanks

Yes, some agent is sending you a trap and it is not defined in trapd.conf, so
you should define it. This is covered in Chapter 5 of the NetView
Administrator's Guide. The rest of that card tells you everything you need to
know -- enterprise if, generic id, specific id, and all the trap variables. To
define the trap you issue xnmtrap from the command line (as root) or pull
down Options --> Event Customization from the GUI and add this trap.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me why I get the following message in the event cards: 'Trap
found with no known format in trapd.conf (4)' and what I need to do to fix it ?
Thanks
