Instructions

Checking NTP settings is vital for services sensitive to clock skew within CloudBoost.
 
NTP settings can be manually checked within the CloudBoost command line (CLI):
  1. Sign into the CloudBoost CLI with the admin user.
  2. Run the command 'diagnostics ntpcheck'.
CloudBoost then validates the NTP settings and attempts to sync.
 
Details about the CloudBoost NTP settings can also be found by running 'diagnostics ntpcheck advanced'.
 
Example:
admin@mag-fs> diagnostics ntpcheck advanced
