[Devmon] uptime on cisco devices

[Joshua K. <fo...@tr...>]

Has anyone come up with a way to show the true uptime on a cisco device via
devmon?  If you look at the uptime in hobbit that is getting it's info from
devmon and then log into the switch and do a "show version" the times are
different.  And what I was told by Cisco is that they uptime is rollover
every 496 days.  So if I have switches that have been up 495 days once they
go passed 496 hobbit will show them as being rebooted because when devmon
poll's the device the "sysUptime" rolled over and now show's zero time.
Which hobbit assumes that it rebooted but it really hasn't.

 

Is there anyway to get the time from the "show version" command or has
someone come up with a better way of getting the uptime of the device?

 

Thanks,

Josh
