You can make sure your system time is accurate with the following commands:
Code: Select all
yum install ntp
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
We'll keep our eyes peeled to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

I tried :
yum install ntp
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
but it didn't work.
I think our installed has died!
Reboot it and not it won't boot now

See if you can boot from a live cd and check the hard drive space. If it's completely full you would definitely have some problems.

Hi,
I had to reinstall R1.5 because everything I tried didnt work.
However, on the new install the time is wrong again.
i.e. Wed Jul 6 11:30:54 CDT 2011
the time is the uk is 17:35.
I have tried
yum install ntp
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
but it didn't work.
How can I change time zone and getthe right time for the uk?
Thanks,
James

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "it didn't work." Are you able to install the yum package? Do you get an error when updating the time?

The steps worked.. but the time is still wrong. i.e I am in the UK.
if my time is :17:35 in the uk.
Nagios is saying 11:30:54 CDT 2011
How can I correct this? so nagios is showing the correct UK time?
Thanks,
James

What Linux distro is this on?
You may need to specify your timezone settings in your /etc/php.ini file.
You'll need to either edit or add:
with your appropriate timezone.

When you run the "date" command from the command-line, do you get the correct date and time?

Hi,
I have fixed the issue from running the following:
[root@linu-nag02 etc]# nano localtime
[root@linu-nag02 etc]# mv localtime localtime.old
[root@linu-nag02 etc]# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime
Thanks

Sorry another issue with the time.
Nagsoi now has the correct uk time.
However, when nagios sends out a email alert, the time on the email is incorrect.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
James
