Hi.  There aren't any suitable unique fields, as the same AP might appear 
multiple times.  But I can classify them in the Cisco controller, so I'm 
only alerting on unclassified rogues.  I've also added ignore="60" to the 
rule to keep the noise down somewhat.  This is what I've ended up with:

<rule id="108999" level="8">
>     <description>Rogue Wireless Access Point discovered</description>
>     <decoded_as>snmptrap-wlc-rogue</decoded_as>
>     <regex>CISCO-LWAPP-AP-MIB::cLApRogueApMacAddress</regex>
>     <group>rogue,</group>
> </rule>
> <rule id="108998" level="10" ignore="60"> <!-- only fire once per minute

My understanding is that when the level 10 rule is ignored, the level 8 
rule should still fire; I'm only sending an email on the level 10.

Thanks
