Thanks for your response James,

I have changed my rule so that Event Stream is set to Block, Then created a
Dynamic Workspace and specified my rule. No events appear in the workspace!
If I set it to Pass - I get all events???

How do I issue the command "nvdebug -d all". There is no command on my
system with that name? So it can't be a CLI  command.

Thanks

The way to debug this is to try your rule in a workspace first.  And if you
don't get the results you expect, issue "nvdebug -d all" to turn on the
nvcorrd trace and look in /usr/OV/log/nvcorrd.alog and see what happens
when events are processed by your rule.  Once you get what you want in the
owrkpsace, then you can use it for TEC.

The Event Stream should not be set to PASS, ever, if you are trying to
create a filtering rule.  PASS will allow all events to be forwraded
whether they meet the rule criteria or not.  It must be set to BLOCK or you
will not fileter anything.

Why don't you see anything when you set it to BLOCK?  I don't know.  That's
why you should set up the test.  This is what Support will tell you to do.
Trust me on this. I wrote the debug procedure they will use.

Can someone help me with applying NetView rules to filter events sent to
T/EC.

I have built a simple 3 step rule

1)      Event Stream (set to pass all events)
2)      Event Attributes (set to pass all events where severity! = 1 i.e.
don't pass events of severity Indeterminate)
3)      Forward

I then implement the rule (there are several ways to do this - but I have
been using the serversetup GUI). This must be working because my rule file
is entered into /usr/OV/conf/tecint.conf

Problem. All events including Indeterminate severity are passed to T/EC.
(Indeterminate events have a T/EC status of UNKNOWN). I can't stop it. No
matter what nodes I enter after Event Stream ( if it is set to pass all
events), all events are sent to T/EC i.e. nothing is filtered out.

If I  amend Event Stream (to block all events) - nothing arrives in T/EC.
It appears as if my rules are not being processed. Can someone else
duplicate this - as I think it might be a bug. However, I do not want to
raise a PMR until I'm sure I'm not doing something wrong.

Thanks for your help
