I found this in the documentation:
$A Display the trap agent-addr using
gethostbyaddr as a string…………
Is there a set variable for the address
before gethostbyaddr is used? I know that some vendors supply the host address as
one of the trap variables, but I am looking to send some of my traps to a more
generic way of process events, and not on a per event level.
Example:
I have traps from several vendors that
will send $A, $G, $S, $e and $* to a script that does some more processing
before sending to TEC. This way all of my traps are set to do the same thing. I
need the IP address for each node so I can run them through a name
normalization process that we have that takes the Tivoli Endpoint name if
available and assigns that to the host name field for event correlation in TEC.
This name normalization process is keyed off of the IP address.
Hope this makes sense.

For the origin IP address included in all SNMP V1

How is the $A attribute derived for trap
attributes?
Thanks,
