I have been attempting to do some more advanced transofrms and running into a few issues..

In the transform I get this error message:
AttributeError: Event instance has no attribute '1.3.6.1.4.1.111.15.1.1.1.2.1'

However my transform has this:
if hasattr(evt, '1.3.6.1.4.1.111.15.1.1.1.2.1'):
  evt.eventClassKey = str(getattr(evt, '1.3.6.1.4.1.111.15.1.1.1.2.1'))
else:
  evt.eventClassKey = 'Oracle'

Did I miss something in the transform when the OID itself does not exist, or is my bug elsewhere?

I would have thought that this would work as you are explicitly checking whether the attribute exists with the hasattr() statement.  This should return a true/false.  Given the error, one has to assume that it returns a true value and then tries to execute the getattr.  Did you cut and paste your transform to here???  I can't see any typos / spaces / extra dots /  but it looks like it should be that sort of gotcha....

In desperation, you might try the Python try / except syntax in your true leg to help debug further.....

Cheers,
Jane
