This mapping is stored as part
of trapd.conf, and the man page
shows these as the valid variable
substitutions for slot values:
$V1, $V2 ... Trap variable 1, 2, and so forth
$COMMUNITY Trap community string
$ENTERPRISE Enterprise of the object generating the trap
$SOURCE_TIME Time the trap was sent
$TYPE Generic trap number (0 through 6)
$SPECIFIC Specific trap number
$VARBIND List of all trap variables.
$NV_HOSTNAME NetView hostname.
$NV_IPADDR NetView IP Address.
Unless James has some more info, I'm thinking you may
have to do something like wpostemsg with $A or whatever.
I seem to recall there were more variables than the list
above, but I'm not in a place to get more specific right now.

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