Thank you. I'm not sure how I overlooked the "x" string type.
I determined what the printable hex string would be for the timestamp
(07d8061212372d002d0400). I then changed snmptrapd to use "x" instead of "s"
for the type.
I thought that I must be doing something wrong because my trap receiver
(iReasoning's MIBBrowser) reported the field as follows instead of displaying a
timestamp:
(OctetString)0x07 0xd8 0x06 0x12 0x12 0x37 0x2d 0x00 0x2d 0x04 0x00
However, I used a sniffer view how another DateAndTime object (hrSystemDate) is
returned in a GET and the data appeared to be in the same format as what I'm
now sending. So I started snmptrapd and then called snmptrap again with exact
same timestamp and sent the trap to localhost. Here's what appeared in the
syslog trace:
myStartDateAndTime = STRING: 2008-6-18,18:55:45.0,-4:0
So it appears that I've gotten snmptrap to send the binary time string. I'm
not sure why my listener isn't translating it properly since it handles
standard DateAndTime objects (such as hrSystemDate) just fine.
Thank you for the assistance.> Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:42:58 +0100> From:
