AP9641 Network Management Card - Email Timezone Issue

I have an NMC 3 card (AP9641) which is configured and periodically sends emails for things like self-tests and any sort of power events.  This card has NMC firmware 2.2.1.1 which is the latest released version.

 

However despite having the correct timezone configured, and the card having the correct time (sync'd with NTP and has the correct time in the Date/Time mode configuration page), any emails that the card sends out are in this format which is invalid:

 

Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2022 11:29:17 0000

 

 This should read:

 

Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2022 21:29:17 +1000

 

The two issues with this are:

 

1. The timezone indicator does not have a required + symbol at the start, and

2. I have the NMC correctly configured with the correct timezone, so it should Date stamp with the current timezone not the GMT time

 

In fact the very same bug was seen on the NMC 2 cards, in this thread:

https://community.se.com/t5/APC-UPS-Data-Center-Enterprise/Date-format-in-email-alerts-from-Network-...

Can the bug fix for this be forward ported to these newer cards?  It is very annoying to have these emails appear in a mail client way up from the bottom of the list simply because the Date: header in the emails that the NMC sends out are both invalid and in the wrong timezone.

@Reuben.Farrelly  I already reported similar issue for the firmware:

 

https://community.se.com/t5/APC-UPS-Data-Center-Enterprise/AP9640-After-upgrade-to-the-2-2-1-1-firmw...

 

I have an open case, but have received no response from Support since Tuesday, August 16, despite requests for update.

Hi @LarryK 

 

I was able to locate the case number that you have raised with our team and have left a message for them to give you an update.  I appreciate your patience while we are investigating this issue further.

@JonPro @LarryK  Yes, the issue that LarryK has reported is the same as mine.  Rather than create more cases with the same information on the same problem I have subscribed to his thread.

 

This really should not be hard to fix as it's a very easily reproducible problem.

Hi @Reuben.Farrelly 

 

Our NMC team could not replicate the issues that @LarryK has raised on his ticket.  Our local support team handling his case requests email notifications sent with matching timestamps from NMCs running older firmware.

@JonPro It's not clear to me if you need anything from me still to progress this case.  Can you please let me know?

I have copied in the full headers from a broken email in case this helps.  Really the problem is so obvious, I can't see what else you could possibly need in order to see and reproduce the problem.

 

The Date: header as created by the card is simply not standards compliant.

Here is the response I received from support:

 

The issue has something to do with the email timestamp set to UTC 0000 from the NMC. Currently, we do not have a workaround to address it, I apologize, but this has been raised with Quality and the issue will hopefully be fixed on future firmware release. 

In other words:  Live with the problem we created by not testing properly until we figure out how to fix it.

We have the same issue. Our provider reject the test-mail with a "554-Transaction failed" failure, because the date format is wrong.

 

I've tried to send a test Mail with the following two NMC Cards and record the traffic with wireshark.

 

Card 1:

NMC2

Bootmon: bootmon:v1.0.9

AOS: aos:v7.0.8

App: sumx:v7.0.8  

 

Card 2:

NMC3

Bootmon: boot:v1.4.3.1

AOS: aos:v2.3.1.1

App: su:v2.3.1.1

 

The date format in the test-mail from Card 1 looks like this:

Date: Fri, 06 Jan 2023 10:05:14 +0100

The date format in the test-mail from Card 2 looks like this:

Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2023 09:01:12 0000

 

With card 1 there a no problems with the test-mail. The test-mail from card 2 is always rejected.

 

Could you please correct the time stamp in the next firmware.

 

Kind regards and have a nice weekend

Hi @ueber_it 

 

Apologies for the inconvenience, we are aware of this issue and working towards the firmware that would resolve the issue.  As of today, we do not have any ETA on when this will be made available.
