That is difficult, and problematic, to answer definitively.  When we
first setup this NV/TEC integration, we saw some of this; and we have
TEC rules that log this behaviour.  I have been meaning to chase this
down, and fix it for quite awhile; but, NOW our NOC users have
complained about this, and I need to resolve it.

Clearly, most of these nodes DO repeat this errant behaviour.  Whether
or not they ever send properly configured events to TEC, I cannot say ;<


> NetView traps or vendor traps?

Netview.

Notice, these SAME Netview events ARE properly formatted for >99% of
nodes.

Differences between what and what?

Thank you, for your participation in this matter.
