Hi,
After investigating, it looks like ntp was not setup on my Hyperic Server and so the date/times were not synchronized across Hyperic Server and Hyperic Client agents.
I have configured NTP on the Hyperic server as follows:
<hyperic server>svcs -a | grep ntp
disabled Feb_28 svc:/network/ntp:default
disabled Feb_28 svc:/network/ntp4:default
<hyperic server>scp <hyperic agent>:/etc/inet/ntp.conf /etc/inet/ntp.conf
