Date and Time

System events registered by Fudo Enterprise (sessions, system log events, etc.) are timestamped. Fudo Enterprise can obtain the time information either from an NTP server or the system clock.

Warning

  • It is strongly advised for the date and time settings to be obtained from a reliable NTP server. Changing date and time settings manually may result in system malfunction.

  • Date and time synchronization with NTP server is required in cluster configurations and for Fudo ShareAccess.
