Owner manual

This keyword has a number of Systems Insight Manager specific commands. These commands are parsed
and executed when a paging or e-mail Automatic Action on Event rule is created and exercised within
Systems Insight Manager. You might view these commands as a paging or e-mail command language. The
general layout of each command contains an operand and descriptive text associated with the operand.
The descriptive text must be delimited by a # pair. If the parser within Systems Insight Manager does not
recognize a command, it will disregard that command without providing any additional feedback.
IMPORTANT: Changing the MSG_FORMATTER string is only recommended for extremely advanced users.
Always back up any files that are modified so that they can easily be restored. Also, for HP ProLiant traps,
HP has already generated intelligent messages that are registered by default with Systems Insight Manager.
Referring to the following tables, the V keyword represents varbind information specific to individual traps.
Numerically, all V definitions match the varbinds as they appear in the trap.

Also, if the beginning keyword in the trap definition file is a $!, that tells the Systems Insight Manager parser
to disregard the global settings and to use only the trap definition file keywords. See example below.
