nmspmProcessTimeCreated
Module: NMS-PROCESS-MIB
OID (symbolic): NMS-PROCESS-MIB::nmspmProcessTimeCreated
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.109.1.2.1.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: TimeStamp
Access: read-only
Description: The time when the process was created. The process ID and the time when the process was created, uniquely identifies a process.
What is nmspmProcessTimeCreated?
This read-only TimeStamp value reports when a process was created; combined with nmspmProcessPID, it uniquely identifies a specific process instance even across PID reuse. Admins use it to confirm they're looking at the same process instance across successive polls, since a changed timestamp for the same PID means the OS reassigned that PID to a new process. Comparing this value poll-to-poll for a given PID lets an admin detect when a monitored process has actually restarted or been replaced.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.109.1.2.1.1.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NMS-PROCESS-MIB::nmspmProcessTimeCreated
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.109.1.2.1.1.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NMS-PROCESS-MIB::nmspmProcessTimeCreated.1
