Whether you can do this in the CDS or not depends on the complexity of what you are trying to do. The CDS basically just selects varbinds from the trap and substitutes them into slot mappings. It does not really allow for any conditional logic.
So for example, if the severities in the trap variable match TEC severities, then something like this might work. Say the varbind which contains the severity is number 6. So you'd select it, and then map it. Let's say it's your third selection. Then your CDS might look like this. But the numbers below are arbitrary; you need to match the map variable with the attribute number you selected. Consult the TEC adapters guide for information on how to code CDS entries.
CLASS <myclass>
SELECT
1.
2.
3: ATTR(=,"VB_6") ;
4.
MAP
...
severity = $V3 ;
...
END
But my suspicion is that this is not enough, because it is unlikely that the severities passed in the trap do not themselves map to the severities used in TEC. In that case you'd have to add TEC rules in the TEC server to modify the incoming events even further. And In fact, it might be simpler not to mess with the severities in the tecad CDS at all, and just do the re-mappings in the TEC server itself using TEC rules.

Hi,
We have our network application that forwards the SNMP alarms to TEC. One of the varbind contains the severity(1 or 2 or 3 etc). How we can map that severity to TEC severities in CDS files. Please advice.
Thanks,
Narendra Gupta_______________________________________________
