What is genericTimeStamp?

This field exists solely to carry a timestamp string inside trap notifications, recording when the underlying event that triggered the trap actually happened. An admin uses this timestamp from within a received trap to know precisely when the alarm condition occurred, which may differ from when the trap was actually received at the management station. A trap generated in the early afternoon might carry a formatted timestamp string like "14:15:00" in this field, letting the admin pin down the exact origination time of the alarm.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.2.8.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GENERICOBJECT-MIB::genericTimeStamp

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.351.110.2.8.3.1
