Curtis,
There is an Owner attribute under Device Information (attribute 0x12bfd, which is not the same as the SNMP contact) which we use for exactly this purpose. Interfaces and sub-components do not have Owner attribute, but our Alarm Notifier script uses CLI to lookup the Owner attribute of the parent device using device model handle 0x10069. You can pass these attribute to the SetScript and read their values from $SANM_0X00012BFD and $SANM_0X00010069 We have the following configuration in .alarmrc to support this and other conditional escalations: # # These attributes are being passed as environment variables # # 0X0023000E Device Type # 0X000129ED PortType # 0X00010069 Device Model Handle # 0X00012BFD Owner # 0X00011564 Notes # 0X00011F82 Internal Interface Alias # 0X0456002A SPM Test Description # EXTRA_ATTRS_AS_ENVVARS=0X0023000E,0X000129ED,0X00010069,0X00012BFD,0X000 11564,0X00011F82,0X0456002A However, objects like SPM tests and Correlation Domains do not have an Owner attribute, so for those we use Security String instead. It is not as elegant, but it works with a little coding.

This allows us easy modification without having to make snmp configuration changes on any devices. Has anyone else used another attribute for this purpose ? I am looking for an alternative attribute to use that would be available for routers,switches ,... and their individual interfaces. For interfaces the notes field is being used by other groups to store interface specific info like circuit id's. Is there a way to create an custom attribute that would be available for all models ? Or is there some generic attributes that could be re-used ?
