nxpush, DCI values and using Application provided timestamps

I have some data which is slightly delayed from the source application.  The data has it's own, and more accurate timestamp, that I would like to use when adding my DCI values in NetXMS.  The reason for using this timestamp, is that the delay can vary from 30 seconds to up to 2 minutes.  Also, this data can be delivered in large batches.  I'm pre-processing the data, but need to use the applications timestamp for accurate data reporting.

I'm looking at nxpush and/or using the agent with a script to collect these as DCI values.  I can't see anywhere if we are able to provide our own timestamp as opposed to NetXMS providing time.

Any thoughts or suggestions on this scenario?

We have a same need that basically to import monitoring data from other data source that does not have SNMP agent.  The data will be fed to NetXMS server for reporting/monitoring purpose.  Data format may look like following:

Jan 06 01:22:45 DataReceived 12kb
Jan 06 01:22:46 DataSent 3kb
Jan 06 01:23:40 DataReceived 12.5kb
Jan 06 01:23:41 DataSent 3.6kb

Any suggestion from you all that import these and report from NetXMS will be appreciated.
