Unified Manager shows incorrect timestamp for events in event management view
Applies to
OnCommand Unified Manager (OCUM) 9.5 (OVA)
Issue
- When viewing events in the Event Management page of OnCommand Unified Manager (UM), the timestamps do not match up with the times the events actually occurred and notifications were sent.
- Checking the system time reveals that it is not synced with the NTP source, even though the ntpd configuration is valid and worked previously.
- Checking the system time periodically with the
date
command shows that the clock continues to drift and is not automatically adjusted. - After reboot the system time may appear stable, but eventually begins to drift again.
- Drift occurs regardless of whether VMware tools clock synchronization option is enabled.
- Using the
tinker panic 0
directive in the/etc/ntp.conf
does not resolve the issue.
