NTP Start Issue
Apr 2021
This was created and tested using CentOS 7.9
I recently had an issue where NTP would not start on a server, I have no idea why, it had CentOS installed and configured exactly the same as the other servers in the system, however NTP would not start.
Running ntpstat I would see that the server was unsynchronised.
Using timedatectl I could see the following:
Local time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:22:37 UTC Universal time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:22:37 UTC RTC time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:22:37 Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000) NTP enabled: no NTP synchronized: no RTC in local TZ: no DST active: n/a
NTP enabled: no
NTP synchronized: no
From the command line, issue the command:
timedatectl set-ntp yes
Re-run the timedatectl command and you should see:
Local time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:23:20 UTC Universal time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:23:20 UTC RTC time: Thu 2021-04-08 14:23:20 Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000) NTP enabled: yes NTP synchronized: yes RTC in local TZ: no DST active: n/a
where:
NTP enabled: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
