hi all,
we are in the phase of implementing a hardware monitoring and therefore going 
to receive approx. 300 different traps from hardware platforms like IBM, compaq 
and dell. These traps get sent to a "virtual interface" that can be linked to 
either a backup netview server or a primary netview server. 
As there is no way to define 300 traps hardcoded inside of a ruleset, we are 
looking to go for another way. 

In one ruleset, which is defined in ESE.automation we would like to "mark" 
incoming traps by using some appropriate "ruleset nodes" (MIB variable, 
database field, set state..). In the final ruleset that is defined in 
/urs/OV/conf/tecint.conf, we only want to let these traps pass the ruleset, 
which got marked with "compaq, dell or IBM" before accordingly. This check 
should be done again by using appropriate "ruleset nodes".

Can somebody please shine some light on me and give me a hint to get it done 
using some of these "ruleset nodes" the right way? I already made some testing, 
but didn´t succeed so far.

We are already using the "set state" functionality in one ruleset for the 
correlation of interface up/down and node up/down traps.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
