[nv-l] Origin Event Slot in TEC

[ray.smith@clorox.com]

We are running NV 7.1.4 fp03 on solaris 8.

Tec is 3.9 also running on solaris 8.

The curious thing is;
On Some events that post to Tec identify netview as the origin in the Root Slot table for event attributes.  While most devices the Root Slot is the name or ip of the Device that netview is reporting on.

The question is;
Should not the origin always be the device that is being reported on and not the netview server?  And if not the device origin why the netview server?
