Monitoring Time Services

In a Grid, the Grid Master and its members use an internal NTP daemon to synchronize their time. It is not user-configurable and functions regardless of how you set the time on the Grid Master. The Detailed Status panel contains an NTP Synchronization icon so you can monitor the internal NTP daemon that runs within a Grid to ensure the time among its members is synchronized.
To display the Detailed Status panel, from the Grid tab, select the Grid Manager tab -> Members tab -> Grid_member
checkbox, and then click the Detailed Status icon in the table toolbar of the Members panel. The following are descriptions of the NTP status icons in the Detailed Status panel:
