The answer to your first question is in the trapd.log. All the numbered varbinds and their contents are shown there. So no, there is no one varbind which contains the trapd.log message. That message is a construction and if you want to use it in your script, then you have to reconstruct it, just as it done by trapd when he combines the variables and the fixed text that are found in trapd.conf for this event log message. Sorry but this is a programming exercise.
Hi James, Thanks for the info. I don't think I was clear in what I need exactly. 1. Is there a variable that exists that contains the whole message string as it appears in trapd.log. I know the $3 and $5 are accessible individually via varbinds. I wanted to pass this whole string exactly in one variable. "The enclosure enclosure460 fan in rack USE063471P has been" 2. I know that I can modify the automated action to pass the string above directly to a script. This will not work for me because my rules require this sequence "Event stream--> Smartset query --> Trap match--> Inline action script" Is there a way to encode the string in a variable and pass it along with the varbinds which I can then use in my inline action script. I've seen a previous post of a perl script that interrogates trapd.conf to get the string, but I was hoping I didn't have to go that route. Ralph Rivera

When the Action node fires it will create a new shell with root authority and export all the trap variables in this way. This is covered in the Chapter on Event Customization in the NetView Admin Guide. Look there for more details.
Thanks Francois, If I execute a script via a ruleset how does the script get the vars $3 $5? Ralph Rivera

How do I get the trap description string as shown in the trap.log sent to a script? I am working with an HP c-class device using compaq mib .1.3.6.1.4.1.232 on Netview 7.1.4 The trapd.log shows: 1181068515 3 Tue Jun 05 14:35:15 2007 bl460 The varbinds look like this: 1181068515 3 Tue Jun 05 14:35:15 2007 bl460 A Trap: compaq generic 6 specific 22011 1181068515 3 Tue Jun 05 14:35:15 2007 bl460 A [2] private.enterprises.232.11.2.11.1 (Integer): 0 1181068515 3 Tue Jun 05 14:35:15 2007 bl460 A [6] private.enterprises.232.22.2.3.1.1.1.7.1 (OctetString): USE6341KKS
