Hi everybody

More and more I distribute some of the messages to different people =
which
have only limited knowledge. E.g. i forward some LAN related Cisco =
messages
to the local IT-Supporter. It would be easier for him to understand a
message like "TokenRing Tech. Dept. down" than "TokenRing0/0/0 down".

How about a possibility to add some kind of conversion table in a text =
file
to each rule. e.g.
"TokenRing0/0/0", "TokenRing Tech. Dept."

I know it's possible using external batches with sed or likewise but =
this
would be a a real pain to manage because all intended actions would have =
to
be implemented by hand. Another quite simple approach would be the
implementation of some kind of preprocessor queue for the service as a
whole. This would leave some issues open (eg. the fact that a conversion
depends on source) to the preprocessor but it would be much better than
nothing.

What do you think? Anyone could use this too?
