"Thresholds, blank eventClassKey and Transforms"

HI,
I'm managing Zenoss 2.4.5 for a while now and Iâm using transforms to process my events, have some custom devices with data points and triggers, so far so good.
Issue I got across recently: I have a device with custom gauge data point and accompanying threshold. When the thresholds is triggered an event is generated under the class selected in the threshold âEvent Classâ setting, all seems ok but I just want a little more info in the event so I need it to pass through a transform so that I can get it.
My attempts so far:
* Try to make manual mapping of the event in the event console; as the event is already of specific class that I assigned in the threshold, it will refuse to create another mappingâŠ
* Ok, so if I make the âEvent Classâ under the threshold to be â/Unknownâ I should be able to create a mapping? No, the event will not map as the eventClassKay is blank...
* Still no good, so I search and read about "defaultmapping" and created one in the same event class as selected in the threshold. I tried simple Regex and Rule, still nothing. So i cleared the Rule and Regex completely so that all evens were being processed, and sure they were, all except the ones coming from my threshold...
Surely that can't be Zenoss limitations so I assume it's me doing something incorrectly.
Any help or guidance from better pleople than I am would be great!
