S4128F_"apt-daily.timer: Adding random time" logs
Hello,
The following logs are continuously generating in the S4128F switch.
<165>1 2021-04-21T03:19:06.977295+00:00 Backbone-S dn_alm 802 - - Node.1-Unit.1:PRI [event], Dell EMC (OS10) %ALM_CLOCK_UPDATE: Clock changed MESSAGE=apt-daily.timer: Adding 4h 43min 43.924032s random time.
I'd like to know the cause of this log and how to fix it.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, could you tell us the OS version you're on?

I have the log messages as well. A lot of "Clock changed MESSAGE=apt-daily.timer: Adding 11h 55min 39.768164s random time". I have NTP enabled and can access the NTP server. What does this mean, that the clock is adding 11h 55min etc. of time to the system clock? When I show the clock the time isn't changed..

Hi willem.wismans & BEN7
You can either ignore these false alarms (see the link: https://dell.to/3zKgsZZ It says "No action required") or try upgrading your OS to the latest version 10.5.2.7 .Social Media and Communities Professional

Hello,
yes I confirm they are warning and it is not an issue fixed in the last firmware.
Thanks

Hi, thank you for choosing Dell. Could you check if Network Time Protocol (NTP) is disabled?
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol used to synchronize computer clock times in a network. It belongs to and is one of the oldest parts of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The term NTP applies to both the protocol and the client-server programs that run on computers.
