Events processed by a ruleset are raw. The formatting that trapd does is not
available through a ruleset, but the Event Attribute does have things like
Severity, Category and so on. But the formatted text is not available. (Nice
enhancement. Maybe someday).
You may find that it is easier to do what you want by processing the trapd.log
after the fact, rather than trying to use a ruleset, unless you are willing to
change your mind and format it yourself by pulling the format out of trapd.conf
.
Since NetView events have their default formatted text present in var 3 they are
seldom the problem. I suspect it is agent traps you wish to format .

Subject: RULSET editor ???
Netview 5.1.2 on Sol 2.6
I want to send only certain formatted events to a file.
Do events passed thru a RULSET contain formatted event info, as defined
in the EVENT CONFIGURATION window or do they only have the raw event
data? I can pass the ENV variables to a file with an ACTION but do not
know how to send the formatted event to a file using a RULESET.
I would like to do this from within NETVIEW and not have to use a PERL
script on the loged events themselves.
