[SNMP4J] Need help in understanding how msgAuthoritativeEngineBoots is populated

[Prathib Kumar]

Hi Frank/ All,


In our application, we are trying to query the sysUpTime for every 5 mins
and the customer is using SNMPV3 authPriv.


In our application, we dont populate msgAuthoritativeEngineBoots and I did
bit search on internet, it looks SNMP4J also doesnt set this attribute.


Any idea where else it can get populated ? or any idea where else to look
for ?
