I've just noticed in the docs for pass (above pass_persist) that the type must be one from this list: integer, gauge, counter, timeticks, ipaddress, objectid, or string So I guess for now I'll return the DateAndTime as 2 columns (yes, it's in a table): 1 as string, and 2 as counter (seconds-since-epoch).
