I receive a large amount of events that don't get classified by zenoss.

I have seen two different methods to classifying them so far during the course 
of my research: 
1- an event transform: evt.eventKey = "agentKey"
2- populating zproperties via regex eg: (P?<agentKey>[some pattern])

Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful in using these methods to classify 
events. I've tried a lot of things, so I've distilled it down to the most 
simple procedure I could think of.

Steps taken:
1- Create event mapping placed in /Unknown with the following attributes
A- id & event class key are test
B- Regex - (?P<eventKey>test)
2- Creates a generic event with no information
./zensendevent -s Critical test
3- This results in an event with the following attributes:
message and summary = 'test'
eventkey = ''
eventClass  = '/Unknown'
And other attributes which may or may not be important.

As far as I understand, if there's no event key then zenoss should be scanning 
the summary. In this case I seem to have been unsuccessful in replicating this 
behaviour.

I can only assume that I'm doing something wrong.

Could anyone provide me with a similar procedure that will yield the expected 
behaviour from zenoss?

Best,
Hugo
