I want my script to backfill some events into Zenoss 3.2.1 - however they all appear as though new. I have tried setting lastTime and firstTime but they don't change the Start Time (or "First Seen" column in the event viewer) - and looking into the old zensendevent script (which does an XML-RPC connection) I see the following:

|
| ignoredElements = set([ |
|
| 'ZenossEvents', 'url', 'SourceComponent', |
|
| 'ReporterComponent', 'EventId', |
|
| 'clearid', 'eventClassMapping', |
|
| 'eventState', 'lastTime', 'firstTime', 'prodState', |
|
| 'EventSpecific', 'stateChange', |
|
| ]) |

Any ideas?
