What is machineTime?

The time on this host at the moment it was queried, useful for spotting clock drift between hosts when compared against the poller's own time.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.999.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> UNIX-MIB::machineTime

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.999.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> UNIX-MIB::machineTime.1

Start monitoring Unix/Linux servers, vendor-neutral general-purpose host monitoring (process/storage/load-average status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the UNIX-MIB::machineTime OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Unix/Linux servers, vendor-neutral general-purpose host monitoring (process/storage/load-average status) from a single console.
