[nv-l] Passing OID from TRAP to script???

I need to extract the OID from a BGP trap that contains an IP address.

I set up a RULSET to pass the BGP trap GENERIC 6 SPECIFIC 2
and pass that to an ACTION NODE that points to my script and also passes the following fields, as the online HELP staes I can do..

/tmp/bin/testtrap $-1 $-2 $-3 $NVA      NOTE: I have tried many different values and formats here with no luck.

 I use the following to TEST the trap...

snmptrap 128.112.x.x  .1.3.6.1.2.1.15 router1 6 2 0 .1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.128.112.152.173 integer 6

As you; can see I am only passing one variable (.1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.128.112.152.173) with a value of 6

This sends the peering status for the stated peer.

The script that runs extracts all ENV variables and ARGs passed and puts them in a file .

I get the NVA passes as an ARGs and NO other information.

I get   NVA, E, T, etc.  NVATTR_1 etc. as ENVs vars  if they exits,  but NO BGP OID for the variable, which contains the IP of the peer that failed.
 

IF I use the COMMAND FOR AUTOMATIC ACTION and pass everything as AGRUMENTS as I did with the RULESET, I DO get the OID.

So the RULSET fails but the AUTOMATIC ACTION works.
 

Q.   Is there a way to pass/ extract the OID via RULESET or does OVACTIONd strip this stuff out?

Can I only get it by using the COMMAND FOR AUTOMATIC ACTION under EVENT CONFIGURATION?
 
 

Thanks for any help.
