A single LONG string that is.
Collapsing the report is probably best done in a shell
script that the report action calls. But...
Events:
>08/10/2010 09:08:24 000009 INFO: (LockableDownStreamIpHash.cpp)Root

What I would try to get to make the report function easier is to
string two single commands together.
One that recognizes the root cause and sets up the root_cause_172.25.1.177
context, and one that fires if the context exists and gathers the ip address
that are downstream. That way your context would have:
Node down: 172.25.1.177 Root cause impact:
10.20.15.44
10.20.15.46
10.20.80.252
...
(note the leading space on lines 2 onward) and a report action like:
report root_cause_172.25.1.177 tr '\n' ',' | submit
would replace newlines in the input with a comma, and I have prepended
a space to the downstream addresses.
Node down: 172.25.1.177 Root cause impact:, 10.20.15.44, 10.20.15.46,
10.20.80.252, ...,
Perl could be used for a nicer output (the impact:, is annoying 8-)).
A google search for 'sed replace newline' might turn up some
alternatives too.
