Seriously...wtf does 'Sync Status' represent?!

Post by jbwaclawski »

I've been trying to figure out WTF this Sync Status column for?! I've been trying to piece it together or find where it's written down, but I can't. I want to know why my configurations apply just fine, but keep missing Sync.

Here's an image, if you don't know what I'm talking about:

Considering you are able to apply configs and are not getting errors. The most likely issues are either time zones\time is not set correctly, or file permissions issues.

Time Zones
Go to Admin->System Config and look for Date/Time and verify that PHP and System Time are the same, as well as that the timezone is correct.

File Permissions
Provided time is set correctly, it is most likely an issue of writing to the file that contains these two services. The nagios user needs to be able to write to them, for the sync to complete correctly.
