NTP Configuration

These instructions illustrate the steps to change the CML server’s NTP server.

Procedure


Log into the System Administration Cockpit as the system administrator account. See Logging into the System Administration Cockpit.

Click Terminal in the navigation bar on the left side of the page.

Edit the config file for chronyd in a text editor and adjust the pool and/or servers lines to use your desired NTP servers. For example, you could edit the file using vi:

sudo vi /etc/chrony.conf

Save your changes and exit from the editor.

Restart the chronyd time service:

sudo systemctl restart chronyd

You can verify that the correct NTP servers are being used and see which one is being used for synchronization with the chronyc command. For example, run

sudo chronyc sources -v
