Thank you, that seems to work just fine. I'll be able to pass instructions to my operators using this. I do want to make sure that what I'm seeing is expected behavior and that I can expect the behavior to continue as Zenoss is upgraded. Can anyone comment? In a transform, it looks like you can use any evt. variable you want: Code: evt.explanation = "Test Explaination" evt.ops = "Test evt.ops" evt.anyOldThing = "Test Any Old Thing" These fields will appear on the event's Detail tab with the expected field name (explaination, ops, anyOldThing). Code: Field Value anyOldThing Test Any Old Thing explanation Test Explaination ops Test evt.ops But when I retrieve the event in zendmd, the fields (explaination, etc.) aren't there. However, the information is all available in the evt._detail variable (which is a list). Code: >>> print evt._details (('anyOldThing', 'Test Any Old Thing'), ('explanation', 'Test Explaination'), ('ops', 'Test evt.ops')) >>> print evt._details[1] ('explanation', 'Test Explaination') >>> As long at that's the way it's supposed to work, I can use it. Just hate to build on something that's not designed behavior.
