We have CA Autosys sending out snmptraps with same evid, but with different names of Jobs which have failed.

Can these be shown separately in the event console and treated as separate events which can be closed, acknowledged, etc?

Liam,
Can probably use a transform like referenced in Jane's Event Management paper (sec 9.6):
for attr in evt.details._map.keys():
     if attr.startswith('enterprises.123'):
          evt.myRestOfOID=attr.replace('enterprises.123.','')
          evt.myFieldValue=' '.join(list(evt.details.getAll(attr)))
          evt.summary = (evt.summary + “ “ + evt.myFieldValue)
or grab interesting attributes (event detail) from the trap individually by:
+myInterestingAttrName+ = getattr(evt,"+EventAttributeNameIWant+")

Can make events unique by setting an event key to the event in the same transform, ie:
evt.eventKey = +myInterestingAttrName ++ +myInterestingAttr2Name+

Perfect - this also addresses an issue we were seeing with simultaneous traps not sending out the expected notifcation.

Thanks!
