Hi..

Try specifying $A in the variable list so it will be something like this
(notice the $A at the end of Trap: line):

EDESC
critb {1.3.6.1.4.1.688.5.1} 6 1 u 4 4 "Status Events"
Trap: generic $G specific $S args ($#): $* $A
EXEC /home/u/automation/brprt $1 $2 $3 $A $S $G
SDESC

We are talking about passed parameters here, and it is difficult to
answer
a question like this without a specific example.
But for example, if you had a script called "mytest" and you wanted to
pass
it  varbind 1, varbind 2, the enterprise oid, and the agent address, in
that order, you would do so like this:
     <full_path>mytest  $1 $2 $e $A
but inside your script these parameters would be referenced in order as
$1, $2, $3, and $4.  They are not exported as ruleset variables are.


Whether you use the agent address ($A) or the NetView attribute $2,
which
always contains the hostname, depends upon whether you are dealing with
a
NetView trapd on a non-NetView trap.  Only NetView traps have the
hostname
in the second varbind.

Hi all

Running 7.1.4 fp3 on solaris 2.8

I can only get Automatic actions to pass me what is in the string via $1
$2
$3, if I reference $e I get nothing?
I need the ip address or hostname of the source of the event how do I
reference it?

Any ideas

Thanks
