Every time I reboot one of my servers, I get this message on the status of the site. In 8 hours, the site will function normally, but until that time, it will stay in an error state. The time zone on the OS is correct. I even went in to this post and added the time zone there and rebooted the server.
The server recognizes the time zone, no issues.
I don’t know if this is an OS issue or a Checkmk issue.
Looking at the time zone on the OS everywhere shows it’s accurate, so has anyone experienced this?
Well, I suppose I should add this to my list of things to check…
The solution was the hypervisor time. I don’t even sync time via vmware tools with the hypervisor so I was surprised to see this happen.
I booted the guest and then just ran journalctl -b and examined the server boot right at midnight via log file.
Seconds in to the boot, I see it move ahead from 00:01:22 to 08:01:22. This is around the same time when I see all the vmware-related items hitting the logs.
This is the only server on this hypervisor and I never changed the time properly, so it’s on my checklist now.
This is what caused the issues with time being checked 8 hours into the future. So, learn from my mistakes if you see this.
Once I corrected the time and rebooted the guest, it synced up immediately.
