Re: [nv-l] to handle traps

[Gildas.Plouzennec@alcatel.fr]

Thank you for your prompt answer François.

And to continue on the subject : how can I manage the correlation aspect 
(trap UP about a device default, then a couple of minutes later, trap 
DOWN for the same device default). I would like to show only the initial 
alarm (trap UP) but with a "cleared" status.
Thanks again
