ntp status with splat

[oliver]

hi,

we´re using SPLAT R55 HFA_17 on hp dl 380.

ntp (seems to) work(s) fine.

ntpstat
ntp is running

/etc/sysconfig/ntp
SERVER1=131.188.3.220
SERVER2=131.188.3.221
SERVER3=131.188.3.222
INTERVAL=300
MD5_SECRET=
USE_NTP=true

to check ntp running we´re using "tcpdump -i eth4 port 123"...

is it possible to get information about a proper working timesynchronisation in a better manner e. g. status, time-offset and so on?

thank in advance for any help!

kind regards from innsbruck

Check /var/log/messages. You can see in it ntpdate information, smth like "adjust time server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx offset x.xxxxxxx sec"

you´re right kva.kva -

Apr 4 15:29:53 enf-1 ntpdate[30240]: adjust time server 131.188.3.220 offset 0.017022 sec
Apr 4 15:34:53 enf-1 ntpdate[30267]: adjust time server 131.188.3.222 offset 0.002173 sec
Apr 4 15:39:53 enf-1 ntpdate[30299]: adjust time server 131.188.3.220 offset 0.008936 sec

- thank you very much!

@ kva.kva

do have an idea too whether smart view tracker log shows winter time with one hour back although time is syncronized on splat and shown correctly?

May be you need execute on SmartCenter sysconfig->time adn date->set time zone then "11) none - I want to specify the time zone using GMT<+|->N format"

The best way - use GMT(+0) and no problems :)

great - thanks again!
