Thread-topic: [nv-l] What's the flow when trapd tec slot mappings are used as well as nvserverd w/ ruleset
I'm probably missing something here, but how far will it go set to "Log
Only Events"?

Hi Peter,

The flow of events is from trapd, through nvcorrd (the correlation
engine) and then to nvserverd.  Your nvserverd.conf specifies that the
NetView correlation rule for nvcorrd to apply to this event stream, is
PRODUCTION_NEW.rs.  Have you remembered to update PRODUCTION_NEW.rs to
include a forwarding element for the NetView event, trap-a, which is to
be translated to your TEC class of NetBoss???  You can get at the
NetView ruleset editor from the Tools menu.

Try testing your PRODUCTION_NEW.rs ruleset by applying it to a NetView
events dynamic workspace - if it appears there then the same logic
should apply when it is being forwarded to nvserverd.
