How Do I Modify Time on Nagiosxi?

Post by Iykmode »

The time on my nagiosxi is one day ahead of actual time in my location. Where can I adjust this setting?

Any suggestions?

I'll assume you are running the Virtual Machine image supplied by Nagios.

ssh to the server and follow these commands: http://www.nocser.net/clients/knowledge ... entOS.html

Thanks BanditBBS,

I have configured as directed on the link you provided. All commands worked fine and the date on the VM reads appropriately now. However, the new date is not reflecting in Nagiosxi yet. Do I need to restart the entire machine or something else?

Thanks.

You know, I can't recall for sure. You could just restart the Nagios service and see if that does the trick. Or if you don't mind a reboot, that really shouldn't take but a moment. Also, if it is a VM, make sure the host machine is running with the proper time as well, or upon reboot the VM may show incorrect time.
