INTERNAL: Understanding NetVault SmartDisk Trace Log Timestamps
Timestamps in the NetVault SmartDisk trace logs appear to be somewhat cryptic. Once you understand what they’re based upon and how to decipher them, the time stamp makes perfect sense.The example below is from a NVSD trace log. The second column listed below is the time stamp “10 digits period 3 digits�.
Example:
2 -1 1284582347.930 'foundation/etc/process/nvsduser' loaded and parsed
The number is based on "time_t", this holds a number of seconds since the epoch (Midnight, January 1st 1970). Basically, a POSIX UTC time.
Search the web for an “epoch converter� and enter the timestamp.
Converting the timestamp of “1284582347.930� = September 17, 2010 @ 15:35:56 hrs
