Time stamp mismatch

[cyient]

Hi,

Earlier i had a problem with system time mismatch and it was resolved but know i find there is difference in time stamped in log files regarding the last check or notification and system time.

But in the alert time stamping is correct.

Please help me on this.

Is the PHP time and System time in sync? (Admin --> system profile)
Is the PHP timezone correct?

[cyient]

Yes they are correct.

Which log files? Could you show an example?

[cyient]

This is the log file /var/log/messages

below is the sample output

Code: Select all

[root@NAGIOSXI-64 ~]# tail -3 /var/log/messages

As you are bale to see the time mentioned in the log is different from the system time

[scottwilkerson]

How many hours before running these commands was the notification sent?

[cyient]

There is no time difference.

What time does it currently show you at:

http://addr.of.xi.server/nagios/
-----> Services (look in the top left at last updated)
---------->"Service Name" (next scheduled check)

Do either of these times coincide with what you are seeing in the logs? It's possible, that if you did a major time jump you may need to stop nagios and remove the retention.dat file and then start nagios again.

There is difference between time, under -----> Services (look in the top left at last updated) and ---------->"Service Name" (next scheduled check). I have stopped nagios removed retention.dat file and started nagios. But still its the same problem.

No, I understand there will be a time difference there, because it is going to show you the next scheduled check...which will be in the future. What I was asking was how does this time stack up against what is being shown in the nagios log? Is the next scheduled time in the web interface in the correct timezone?
