I’ve got a question about the output of text when triggers are being processed.  Specifically, the text that is coming out of the trigger, when an event is closing, does not match the text that is showing up in the event log in the JFF browser view.  This is relating to the $event[text] field.

 

For example, when an interface goes down, the browser view of what the event is states:

 

   TCP/UDP Service Port 80 1 closed (Unknown Customer http)

 

The output from the $event[text] processing in the trigger I created is:

 

   TCP/UDP Service Port 80 1 closed (Unknown Customer http)

 

Those two match up.  But…when that interface comes back up, the browser view of what the event is states:

  

    TCP/UDP Service Port 80 1 open (Unknown Customer http)

 

But the output from the $event[text] processing in the trigger is:

 

   TCP/UDP Service Port 80 1 closed (Unknown Customer http)

 

It looks like the “everything is now ok” event still shows the interface to be down.  Is this expected behavior?

 

Thanks,
