Yup - it's noddy but that's what it does. This is the bit that works! Shame about the removal of duplicates though. I believe that the SET:msg function used here is specific to the TECSummary action - it's only documented as being possible on the msg field - not tried on anything else. Other than that, I guess we are in to writing our own actions - there are some samples on the TEC 3.9 main CD under the EIFDSK directory hierarchy.

Cheers,
Jane

Jane, does this mean that you are modifying the message field on an event on its way to TEC? That is my dream.

[nv-l] [EC] State C0rrelation Engine duplicate rule doesn't suppress duplicates



        





I have TEC 2.9 FP2 and NetView 7.1.4 FP2 on a SuSE 9.1 Professional system.
I have added 1 extra state correlation engine ( SCE ) rule to the
provided nvsbrule.xml rules file that comes with NetView:
<rule id="netview.dupAuthRemove">
   <eventType>TEC_ITS_BASE</eventType>
   <duplicate timeInterval="60000">
   <cloneable attributeSet="hostname"/>
     <predicate>
       <![CDATA[
        &nv_generic == "4"
       ]]>
     </predicate>
   </duplicate>
   <triggerActions>
       <action function="TECSummary" singleInstance="false">
         <parameters>
            SET:msg="Authentication Trap Summary"
         </parameters>
       </action>
   </triggerActions>
 </rule>

I am generating 8 traps that match this and I am seeing an event with
the message "Authentication Trap Summary" so the rule is obviously
firing but I am ALSO seeing all the individual events too.  They all
come from the same hostname inside 60 seconds.  The summary event has a
repeat count of 0.

I have tracing and logging turned on for the state correlation but can't
see anything helpful in there.

Anyone else seen this or can see what I have done wrong?  I just have a
vague idea I had heard of a bug with the duplicate SCE rule - mebbe on
Linux???

Cheers,
Jane
