Knowledge Base & Operational DocumentationWhy Does a Linux Server Show the Wrong System Time?
Incorrect server time can break certificate checks, log correlation, scheduled work, authentication, and database replication. A clock that drifts gradually suggests a different cause from a clock that jumps after reboot.
What to check
Check the time zone, system clock, NTP synchronization state, recent time-service logs, virtualization host settings, and whether multiple time-sync daemons are active. Compare UTC time with a trusted reference and inspect drift over several intervals.
Recommended next step
Correct the time source and time-zone configuration through the supported service, then verify persistence after restart. Avoid manually changing production clocks abruptly when databases or clustered services depend on ordered timestamps.
