nvserverd has been setting "origin" to the IP address of the NetView box
for several releases now.  Certainly for all of 7.1.4 if not for all of 7.1

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?

example
11/2/2005 8:15:53 AM tec
TEC Event TEC_ITS_NODE_STATUS received with the message: Node Down.
