Timestamps in Callhome emails

[brlehigh]

I've been working to configure Callhome / Smart Callhome in my fabric.  After reloading a switch I received a Callhome email, however the included timestamps do not make any sense:

Created: 1589547915258
Description: Node 231 with hostname Leaf231 is inactive and not reachable. topology/pod-1/node-231/fault-F1543
Status: raised_clearing
Severity: critical

Where is it pulling this "created" timestamp?

Is there a way to configure it to use local time?

Hi @brlehigh 

That is unix epoch time, basically number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970.  You can see a more complete definition and convert your timestamp at the link below.

Is your fabric configured for your local timezone?

I have NTP servers configured and the system configured to use local time.

All of my logs in the APIC show in local time.  The only time I've seen epoch time is in the Callhome emails.

For anyone else out there that encounters this issue, I went ahead and opened a TAC case about this.  Apparently, this is a known issue and there is no workaround.

It has supposedly been fixed in version 5.0(1k).
