Module: CIENA-CES-PM

OID (symbolic): CIENA-CES-PM::cienaCesPmInstanceStartTime

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.3.1.2.2.1.1.8

Description: When set, specifies the collection start time for the PM instance in the local time zone. The input time format is hh:mm or hh:mm:ss. If not set, but cienaCesPmInstanceStartDate is set, the time defaults to 00:00:00. When read, indicates the collection start date and time for the PM instance in local time or UTC, as determined by the system 'timestamp' setting, formatted as 'Wed Jun 30 21:49:08 1993'. A trailing 'Z' indicates UTC.

What is cienaCesPmInstanceStartTime?

This read-create DisplayString specifies, when set, the local-time-zone collection start time for a PM instance in hh:mm or hh:mm:ss format, per its description, defaulting to 00:00:00 if only cienaCesPmInstanceStartDate is set; when read back, it reports the full start date and time formatted like 'Wed Jun 30 21:49:08 1993', with a trailing 'Z' denoting UTC. This lets an engineer schedule a PM collection window to begin at a specific time of day, for example to align with a maintenance window or a known traffic pattern, rather than starting collection immediately upon instance creation. An engineer wanting PM data collection to begin precisely at the start of a change window would set this field to that window's start time rather than relying on instance creation time.
