QFT!!

I'm sure their is some method of doing what you want.  I'm sorry I can't be 
more help, but let me offer my understanding of why the severity is included in 
the dedupid.  

Let's say a given component triggers an alarm of level warning, and then later 
the same component triggers an alarm of level critical.  Just because the 
component is has now issued a critical alarm it doesn't mean that the warning 
level alarm has passed.  So in essence these are separate events that need to 
be dealt with.  

I think in your example with the thread usage, instead just issuing simple 
traps indicating the thread usage, it should be issuing rising/falling 
threshold traps.  This way, even though they may not be deduped on to a single 
line, they would auto cleared as the falling thresholds happen.

It may not be possible with your equipment, but to me, it seems the correct way 
to go when trapping a thresholded value.
