Hello Rosto,
        First of all I would like to thank you for your reply. 

Detailed technical description:
I am trying to read some sample file, from the respective VM, were SEC is 
installed. After which I am filtering the contents of the file based on filter 
expression, also called as RegExp in SEC. Now after filtering I am writing the 
action command in SEC as follows:

action=snmptrap -v 2c -c public ZenossIP "" ucdStart OID s "SEC Alert to ZenOSS"

Now when I run this sec perl script, I am observing an error message as Action 
Invalid. 


SEC Config file for your reference:

type=Single
ptype=RegExp
pattern=error
desc=$0
action=snmptrap -v 2c -c public 192.11.21.1 "" ucdStart 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.251.1 
s "SEC Alert to ZenOSS"

My goal is to filter any given input file based on SEC's control expression and 
send the filtered contents to zenoss.

Please suggest me some tips for this problem. Any help will be appreciated.



Regards,
Waseem

Hmmm... I think not so many readers of this list (including me) might 
have a previous experience with Zenoss, so it might be somewhat hard to 
figure out the essence of the issue. I can only tell you that OID is a 
convention for object naming 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_identifier) which is extensively 
used by SNMP agents and SNMP command line tools. However, without 
knowing more about your particular setup, it is very hard to guess what 
sort of OID's you are talking about.
Can you give a precise technical description about how you would like to 
use SEC with Zenoss? Is SEC watching some sort of log file Zenoss is 
producing? Are you currently having a trouble with understanding the 
format of the log file?
kind regards,
risto
