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 traps.  It's a required field per the RFCs.

How is the $A attribute derived for trap attributes?

Thanks,
