hi, need some help with a transform that is not working.
I want to drop events bases on device class, if device class starts with '/Network/Remote_site_A' or '/Network/Events' i want the event dropped.
What i got:

if evt.DeviceClass.startswith('/Network/Remote_site_A')
or evt.DeviceClass.startswith('/Network/Events')
evt._action = 'drop'

zenoss 4.2.4 is marking the transform box in red.

Hi,

Why are you using device classes instead of Locations to differentiate sites?Â Simply drag stuff for "remote site A" to a "remote site A" location and create your transform.

Try something like:

if "Remote_site_A" in getattr(evt, 'deviceclass', ''):
Â Â evt._action = "drop

I'm away from my perspective but will check the syntax tomorrow.

However Andrew is right, you are over complicating it...

That transform is doing his work, i'm not getting events from that device class for 'interface errors' alerts:

if "/Network/remote_sites" in getattr(evt, 'DeviceClass', ''):
Â Â evt._action = "drop"

Maybe i wasnt explaining myself very clear (i'm translating from spanish).
I have made about 5 different device classes so i can bind templates depending on the devices requirements.
e.g:
/Network/Remote_sites
/Network/Branchs
/Network/Headquarters

Remote sites are around 800 devices that i dont want 'interface error' alerts from, but i do want 'interface errors' alerts from /Network/Headquartes.
I'm also doing the same for rta alerts. i only get them for /Network/Branch.

I dont think i can do that with locations or can i ?

The simplest method would be to put the below transform under the
/Perf/Interface (or the EventClass of your choice)

if "/Network/Remote_sites" in getattr(evt, 'DeviceClass', ''):
Â Â evt._action = "drop"

That will drop any events for the /Perf/Interface EventClass for devices
under the /Network/Remote_sites DeviceClass.

Make sense?
