Uptime

[ehughes]

Is there a test available that would show the current uptime (how long since the last reboot) of a machine?

You may use SNMP Get test method (OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0) or you may use Performance Counter test method (\System\System Up Time)

The O.I.D. mentioned above seems not to be working for Juniper Netscreen devices I need to monitor.
But it does work for HP and 3com switches.
Any idea for the right variable to read?

This is pretty standard counter, it should be supported by all SNMP agents.
Are you sure Juniper Netscreen SNMP agent is enabled? What exactly error message do you see when you are trying to request this device? May be there is some network/firewall error? Can you request 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 counter?

Any idea for the right variable to read?

Its qood idea to ask manufacturer of the device, not us
Do you have manual, MIB files that comes with this device?

Thanks for the quick service !
I was caught by the unexpected 'feature' that the <get value> button in the RCC console sends the SNMP request from the my workstation, instead of the management server running Advanced Hostmonitor.
( The source IP address filter is a used security feature in our netscreens.)

The workaround : define the full test, save it and request a refresh executed from the Hostmonitor server.
Both OID values work with the netscreens.

Correct. RCC GUI sends requests directly to target system while tests are performed by HostMonitor. However if you specify some agent for test execution, RCC will use this agent for test setup as well.
