Oops. SOrry, I assumed there was an event sent on an acknowledgement. Doesn't
seem to be.
Even odder, there seems to be no way to pull the ack status from netview, by
ovobjprint or ovtopodump, otherwise you could still make it work. (Have all node
down events not resolved by interface up events within 10 minutes launch a
script, which checks to see if the interface is acknowledged before paging.)
SO I guess the question is, Anyone know of a way to query a nodes symbol status
as to whether the symbol has been acknowledged?
