Re: [nv-l] How to populate hostname in TEC slot mapping

[Jane Curry <jane.curry@skills-1st.co.uk>]

I am using the xnmtrap GUI where everything gets configured.  The middle 
boxes specify the TEC class to map a TRAP to and the TEC slot mapping.  
It is the TEC slot mapping where I want access to a hostname variable.  
I know I can use $COMMUNITY, $ENTERPRISE, $SOURCE_TIME, $TYPE, $SPECIFIC 
and $V1 - 15 .  NetView enterprise TRAPs generally have the second TRAP 
varbind as the hostname so for that I could use $V2 but many TRAPs don't 
include the "host with the problem" as a TRAP varbind - it's part of the 
SNMP/UDP/IP header after all and NetView obviously knows where it came 
from because he always displays it in the event workspace and make it 
available as the $A variable if you want to configure an action in the 
bottom box of the xnmptrap application.
Does that make sense?

Cheers,
Jane
