Issue

  • StorageGRID SNMP traps are sending successfully from NetApp to the SNMP server but not decoding time correctly.
  • SNMP trap showing incorrect values for activeAlertStartTime on external SNMP server.
     

Example output from \net\sg-snmp-agent.log in Lumberjack confirming SNMP trap sent successfully:

[2023-05-08T14:34:14.806]    INFO -- Sending alert notifications for .16.97.55.55.100.102.51.56.49.48.54.97.51.99.51.52.54, startsAt 2023-05-08T14:33:31.841Z
2023-05-08T14:34:14.807]    INFO -- Sending SNMP v2c trap to IP_ADDRESS
[2023-05-08T14:34:15.110]    INFO -- Sending SNMP v2c trap to IP_ADDRESS

Examples of expected time output:

  • NETAPP-STORAGEGRID-MIB::activeAlertStartTime."bccfd77ef76f44f7"= STRING: 2023-3-7,2:22:27.2,+0:0
  • OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.28669.1.4.1.5.16.99.100.97.97.56.56.53.102.57.100.48.53.100.99.50.54 Value: 7.E6.8.C.E.13.14.6.2B.0.0
