Issue/Introduction

The 0x5b80008 event code is not clearing the alarm generated by 0x5b80007 event code.
 

Cause

The entityName variable has a different value when the event is generate to assert an alarm and to clear it. Those values are coming from the device via SNMP trap.
That is the reason the 0x5b80008 event is not clearing the alarm asserted by 0x5b80007 event code. The Event Variable Discriminator entityName does not match.

Event Type: 0x5b80007 - entityName = server_vip_NSSVC_HTTP_10.17.151.135:80(LB_VS_TEST1_ABC23)_DOWN 
Event Type: 0x5b80008 - entityName = server_vip_NSSVC_HTTP_10.17.151.135:80(LB_VS_TEST1_ABC23)_UP 

Event Type: 0x5b80007 - entityName = server_serviceGroup_NSSVC_HTTP_10.54.8.4:80(LB_SG_TEST_1_ABC47)_DOWN 
Event Type: 0x5b80008 - entityName = server_serviceGroup_NSSVC_HTTP_10.54.8.4:80(LB_SG_TEST_1_ABC47)_UP 
 

Environment

CA Spectrum 10.x

0x5b80008 E 50 P "CreateEventWithVariables({C CURRENT_MODEL},{H 0xfff00001},SetEventVariable(GetEventVariableList(),{U 1},GetRegexp(GetEventVariable({U 1}),{S \"(.*)_\"},{U 1})))" 
0xfff00000 E 0 A 1,0x5b80007,1
