Nagios Support Forum

Timezone that the server is supposed to be in is US Central. But Nagios is reporting everything 6 hours ahead. Here are my settings:

The following is correct (currently it is 2:31PM CST):
[root@nagios ~]# date
Tue Nov 21 14:31:46 CST 2017

[root@nagios ~]# ll /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Sep 20 09:42 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central

[root@nagios ~]# cat /etc/php.ini | grep date.time
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = Central

Timezone in System Settings is, "Central Time."

The issue is:
* My "Service Status Detail" is always off by 6 hours. When a service should be down for 10 minutes, it says that the service has been down for "6h 10m 0s".
* "System Status" reports that it was last updated at 2017-11-21 20:32:51, when it should be 2017-11-21 14:32:51.

Is there another location for time settings that we are missing? Any other ideas?

Try changing this: to this: in the php.ini file, and restart apache: http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php

If this is an option, reboot the server as well.

Are you using local or offloaded mysql db? What's the mysql time?

Changing php.ini to US/Central fixed it actually. Thank you!

Time on mysql was correct:
