OK I'm now a little confused by all this!
I'm trying to do the exact same thing and have lifted Jim's code but
it's not filling in the title as expected.
I've tried debugging in various ways and it seems you can only use 1
GetEventAttribute statement.
If I use (Where U1 = "TestDevice" and U7 is set on a test trap to read
"TEST ALARM TITLE")
GetEventAttributeList(), \
{ H 0x12b4c }, \
Append ( { S \"DAVE - \"
} , GetEventAttribute( {U 7} ) ) \
) \
Then I get exactly what I expect - "DAVE - TEST ALARM TITLE"
But I don't want a string with my name, I want the first bit to be the
hostname (U1)
So I tried:
GetEventAttributeList(), \
{ H 0x12b4c }, \
Append
(GetEventAttribute( {U 1} ) , GetEventAttribute( {U 7} ) ) \
) \
Which I'd expect to just blindly join the 2 variables together to read
"TestDeviceTEST ALARM TITLE". It totally ignores what I want and takes
the title from the PCAUSE file.
If I use Jim's code below exactly as he's typed it but with my variable
IDs -
0xffff0001 P "CreateEventWithAttributes( \
{C CURRENT_MODEL}, \
{H 0xffff0002}, \
SetEventAttribute( \
GetEventAttributeList(), \
{ H 0x12b4c }, \
Append ( \
Append ( \
GetEventAttribute( {U 1} ), \
{ S \" \" } \
), \
GetEventAttribute( {U 7} ) \
) \
) \
)"
I'd expect to see "TestDevice TESTALARMTITLE" - but I don't. Again it
just uses the PCause file title.
If I set the attribute to just one GetEventAttributeList() variable with
no appends, it displays that fine too. It's just not interpreting how
I'm appending the variables correctly.
I've got the same issue on 8.1HF12 and 9.1SP3 so I don't think it's a
version issue, more a "the code doesn't work" issue!
Any ideas where I'm going wrong - or how to make the event procedure
come up with "TestDevice - TEST ALARM TITLE" in the custom title
variable?

Subject: Re: [spectrum] Alarm Title: Concatenation
We're doing this with event procedures. You'll need to combine several
procedures to fill in the alarm title variable 0x12b4c we've been
discussing. Here's a short example where 0xffff0001 is the raw event
coming in, and 0xffff0002 is the event that you'll use to create your
alarm.
0xffff0001 P "CreateEventWithAttributes( \
{C CURRENT_MODEL}, \
{H 0xffff0002}, \
SetEventAttribute( \
GetEventAttributeList(), \
{ H 0x12b4c }, \
Append ( \
Append ( \
GetEventAttribute( {U 2} ), \
{ S \" \" } \
), \
GetEventAttribute( {U 3} ) \
) \
) \
)"
0xffff0002 E 50 A,3,0xffff0002
This sets the title to a concatenation of var 2 and var 3, with a space
in between. Event procedures are very arcane, poorly documented, and
hard to debug, but they're the only way to perform event modifications
like this.
HTH,
Jim

Hello All,
Environment: SPECTRUM 9.2 on Windows 2008
I want to have alarm title based on concatenation of a static text and
the trap varbind.
As an example: A trap with 5th varbind contains a string "ABC is not
running" or "XYZ is stopped". I want to display the Alarm Title as
follows (having static text "Process Down:"):
Process Down: ABC is not running
or
Process Down: XYZ is stopped
===================================
Concatenation of two or more trap varbind.
As an example: A trap with va22 contains a string "CPU Utilization
exceeded" and var3 contains the current value say "87" as:
CPU Utilization exceeded 87
Thanks in advance.
Saurabh
