Is there any solution today ?
I would greately appreciate a powerful way of retargetting events
to a target entity which is different from the managed object.
What I want to do is to retarget an event from
NODE ns:.x.y.nodename HDLC LINK linkname
to
CIRCUIT ns:.z.nodename-linkname
If I say:
Managed object NODE * HDLC LINK *
I get the (full) entity NODE name in #1
and the child entity LINK in #2
and I can only have a target entity in which I use #1 and/or #2.
The main problem is the FULLNAME of NODE of which in fact I require only the
relevant SIMPLE NAME. Is there any way to solve this?
The second problem is that I should sometimes retarget to
CIRCUIT ns:.z.nodename-linkname, sometimes to CIRCUIT ns:.z.linkname-nodename
depending on 'nodename' and 'linkname'. Is this (already complex)
manipulation of names possible too ?
Kind regards
Dominique.

the existing targetting functions can not handle the complexity
you are asking for. Currently the only work around I can see for
you is to have an OCCURS alarm rule that monitors for the events. The
rule fired procedure could do the name manipulation for you and
then using the data collector could send in a new event for you
with the correct entity specification you are interested in.
Sorry this isn't more elagant but off the top of my head it is all
I came up with.
If you hadn't registered the nodes and circuits in different locations
in the dns hierarchy you might have been able to do something like
node ns:.nodename HDLC LINK linkname
NODE #1 HDLC LINK #2
translating to a target entity of
circuit ns.nodename-linkname
CIRCUIT #1-#2
I haven't explicitly tested this but I believe that it should work.
