I need to check if real date & time of my devices differ too much from real actual time (given to PRTG server by my secure ntp server). How can read this standard oid from host-resource-mib: .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.host.hrSystem.hrSystemDate.0 (.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.2.0) ? integer returns error and string too..

Thanks a lot!

PTF CheckTimeSNMP

With Custom Sensor PTF CheckTimeSNMP you can check the time difference between a device and your PRTG server/probe in seconds.

The sensor gets the time from the device using SNMP and compares it with the local time of your PRTG server/probe.

-s=device [-c=community string] [-v=SNMP version] [-p=SNMP port]

-s=  IP address or DNS name of the device to check.")
-c=  Optional, SNMP community string for SNMP v1/v2c. Default=public.")
-v=  Optional, SNMP version. Supported version: 1 or 2c. Default=1.")
-p=  Optional, SNMP port number on remote host. Default=161")

The Custom Sensor can be downloaded from this page.

I am sorry, PRTG does not directly support datetime OIDs at this time. The only viable solution is a custom sensor.
