Configuring the system time
You can either manually set the FortiAnalyzer system time or configure the FortiAnalyzer unit to automatically keep its system time correct by synchronizing with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
|
For many features to work, including scheduling, logging, and SSL-dependent features, the FortiAnalyzer system time must be accurate. |
To configure the date and time:
- Go to System Settings > Dashboard.
- In the System Information widget, click the edit system time button next to the System Time field.
- Configure the following settings to either manually configure the system time, or to automatically synchronize the FortiAnalyzer unit’s clock with an NTP server:
