probeDateTime
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::probeDateTime
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.19.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING
Access: read-write
Description: Probe's current date and time.
field octets contents range
----- ------ -------- -----
1 1-2 year 0..65536
2 3 month 1..12
3 4 day 1..31
4 5 hour 0..23
5 6 minutes 0..59
6 7 seconds 0..60
(use 60 for leap-second)
7 8 deci-seconds 0..9
8 9 direction from UTC '+' / '-'
9 10 hours from UTC 0..11
10 11 minutes from UTC 0..59
For example, Tuesday May 26, 1992 at 1:30:15 PM
EDT would be displayed as:
1992-5-26,13:30:15.0,-4:0
Note that if only local time is known, then
time zone information (fields 8-10) is not
present, and that if no time information is known, the
null string is returned.What is probeDateTime?
This object holds the probe's current date and time including timezone offset, stored as a byte string that can be read or set by operators. Time synchronization is critical for correlation of events across network devices and accurate log timestamps. For example, setting this to "2024-6-25,14:30:15.0,-5:0" synchronizes the probe to June 25, 2024 at 2:30:15 PM Eastern time.
