nlMatrixTopNControlStartTime

Module: RMON2-MIB

OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::nlMatrixTopNControlStartTime

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.15.4.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TimeStamp

Access: read-only

Description: The value of sysUpTime when this topN report was last started. In other words, this is the time that the associated nlMatrixTopNControlTimeRemaining object was modified to start the requested report or the time the report was last automatically (re)started.

This object may be used by the management station to determine whether a report was missed.

What is nlMatrixTopNControlStartTime?

This timestamp (in hundredths of a second since boot) marks when the current top-N report started collecting data. Engineers use this to calculate how long a report has actually been running and to detect if reports were missed due to probe restarts. If the start time is older than expected and there's no new report, data collection likely crashed.
