Time Synchronization in a Multi-Server Environment

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Nx Witness provides a time synchronization mechanism that sets System Time to synchronize either with the Internet or from a manually-specified Time server that all other servers will synchronize to. By default Nx Witness tries to synchronize time across all servers, even when no Internet connection is available. At times it may be necessary to configure the time settings manually.

To do so open Main Menu –> System Administration (shortcut Ctrl+Alt+A) and go to the Time Synchronization tab.

The current System Time is displayed at the top. Below, a list shows the servers currently online, and the current date, timezone, time and offset from System time for each server.

To sychronize System Time with the Internet, check the Sync time with the Internet box.

To specify a Time Server, uncheck the Sync time with the Internet box and click the toggle button to the left of the server you want to set as master, then click Apply or OK.
