Convert octet string to human readable
- by Michael Lang
Using the pysnmp framework i get some values doing a snmp walk. Unfortunately for the oid
1.3.6.1.21.69.1.5.8.1.2 (DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB)
i get a weird result which i cant correctly print here since it contains ascii chars like BEL ACK
When doing a repr i get:
OctetString('\x07\xd8\t\x17\x03\x184\x00')
But the output should look like:
2008-9-23,3:24:52.0
the format is called "DateAndTime". How can i translate the OctetString output to a "human readable" date/time ?
