Timing issues after upgrade 2014R1.3

[mikew]

So I looked at this issue and found two problems that others may have to deal with.

Problem #1: /etc/sysconfig/clock was set to Zone="UTC"
Problems #2: /etc/localtime was some wierd version of UTC
I have no idea how this got in there or if it was a mutant from space (happens you know) , but it was some form of UTC.

Solution:
We changed the /etc/sysconfig/clock to America?New_York and copied the /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York over the old /etc/localtime.

We shut down Nagios and removed the /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat and also restarted httpd, mysqld, postgresql and nagios.

Presto...all is working fine. I guess if you are having problems with this issue first go to Admin/System Profile to see if your Date/Time is exactly the same with the system and the PHP, if not you are likely to have problems. So you can close this.

Awesome! thanks for noting what you changed, although you are usually great about that!
