Folks,

I have an IDMEF alert that I created in Prelude Correlator by creating a fresh idmef.IDMEF() object and then setting the properties I care about. I then want to send this IDMEF message to another process expecting to receive the alert in XML format. When I print my object, however, it looks like it is formatted in some way, but I don't see the XML tags.  Is there a way to put the IDMEF alert in XML format? My code:

msg = idmef.IDMEF()
msg.Set("version", "1.0")
msg.Set("alert.assessment.impact.severity", "medium")
etc...
etc...

Then some socket logic to send the msg objcet. I need this object to be in XML format and by default it doesn't look XML.

Thanks,

Mike
