Since ovpn is sensitive to time difference between ovpn link endpoints (in my case these are Microtik devices), it is quite natural idea to monitor time on routers. And it was surprise for me I just can’t get date and time in some readable format without use of API and without parsing API output. Here is what I can get:
time: 12:12:13
date: nov/27/2015
time-zone-autodetect: no
time-zone-name: ...
gmt-offset: +02:00
Yes I can parse it and create time/date from it, but I would really like to get just the string of date/time in a single SNMP request, or at least in single API call without need for parsing it.
May there be hidden OID for clock like Cisco’s
csyClockDateAndTime
Hope the answer is there and it is positive one, since using SNMP only is quite a option for many external probe software (not all allow to use MT API).
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
