I haven't seen any response to this so I'll chip in my two cents or one 
of the leftover Yuan from a visit to IBM China some time ago.  

NetView for NT doesn't have the filtering available in NetView for Unix, 
the NT Tec adapter isn't as easy to work with  either and NT Batch Files 
are impossible to do anything intelligent so I resort to the long way 
around.  
1.  Copy the content of the utilities directory from the Tivoli 
Framework for NT to your NetView node if you have access to it.  There 
are Open Source NT versions of all the Unix commands there.  
2.  Use the BASH  shell interpreter and write some filtering procedures. 
 Use Postemsg (or Wpostemsg if your NetView is part of a Framework TMR) 
to forward the events.  

Alternate: especially interesting to IBM oriented users
1. Copy the REGINA Open Source interpreter from the University of 
Waterloo site or the somewhat less capable one from the NT Resources 
package.  
2. Write your filters using the REXX language using Postemsg/Wpostemsg 
for forwarding events.  

Most of the customers I work with have both Framework and NetView 
licensed so there's no problem there in using BASH from Tivoli.  If 
there is no prejudice against REXX I find it more stable and capable for 
the task but documentation is hard to find and I wind up using the 
mainframe or OS/2 REXX documentation.    

I hope this helps.
