--------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to setup a BGP transform in Zenoss 4.2 for the "cbgpBackwardTransition" and "bgpBackwardTransition" snmp traps. In 3.2, I was using the following trap which I found on http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-5325: http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-5325:

#Required for reverse DNS lookup
from socket import gethostbyaddr

#Translate BGP Peer state to readable format
X = evt.bgpPeerState
if X == 1 :
   evt.TranslatedState = "idle"
elif X == 2 :
   evt.TranslatedState = "connect"
elif X == 3 :
   evt.TranslatedState = "active"
elif X == 4 :
   evt.TranslatedState = "opensent"
elif X == 5 :
   evt.TranslatedState = "openconfirm"
elif X == 6 :
   evt.TranslatedState = "established"
else:
  evt.TranslatedState = evt.bgpPeerState

#Pull out bgp peer IP and attempt a DNS reverse lookup for a name
#Then set message and summary using DNS name if possible, IP if not
for attr in dir(evt):
         if attr.startswith('bgpPeerState.'):
             evt.bgpPeerIp = attr.replace('bgpPeerState.', '')
             try:
                 evt.bgpPeerName = gethostbyaddr(evt.bgpPeerIp)[0]
                 evt.summary = "BGP neighbor change " + evt.bgpPeerName + " (" + evt.bgpPeerIp + ")" + " is: " + evt.TranslatedState
             except Exception, ex:
                 evt.exceptionString = str(ex)
                 evt.summary = "BGP neighbor change " + evt.bgpPeerIp + " is: " + evt.TranslatedState

evt.component = evt.bgpPeerIp

#Auto-clear when state is established
if evt.TranslatedState == "established" :
   evt.severity = 0

Now I receive a Transforming error, saying "Attribute Error:  bgpPeerIp".

I would appreciate hearing from any 4.2 users who have a transform in place for this trap.

Anyone have a solution or a BGP transform that works in 4.2?

The solution is:

#Pull out bgp peer IP and attempt a DNS reverse lookup for a name
#Then set message and summary using DNS name if possible, IP if not
for attr in evt.details._map.keys():
    if attr.startswith('bgpPeerState.'):
         evt.bgpPeerIp = attr.replace('bgpPeerState.', '')



Enjoy!
