Timezone

Use this page to set the time-related configuration of your device. It is recommended to turn on automatic time synchronization with the NTP service. This function can be enabled with the option Set time automatically. Choose the closest city and enter the time servers. If you select Use NTP servers supplied by DHCP, then the NTP servers are obtained from a DHCP service (this requires that DHCP is enabled for the management interface too).

You can turn on the NTP server on the Flowmon device by enabling the option Use NTP servers supplied by DHCP. The NTP server requires several minutes until its clock is stabilized. During this period, the NTP server does not respond to the NTP clients’ requests.

It is recommended to use time synchronization to allow the device to set the right timestamps in generated NetFlow data.

Click Save to apply the changes. If you have configured these settings for the first time on a brand new device, it is highly recommended to clear a database after this step (see the section Built-In Collector).
