'Latest Data' ahead of time, no data being received

[jarrodh]

Our Zabbix server gave up working about a month ago, there has now been a need for it to be working again, it connects to the host, both ends can telnet to each other on port 10050 / 10051, hosts are listed as available, but simply no data comes through, I think this comes down to the 'latest data' is received on 23rd July, which is next week, I think some of our in house team may have pushed the date forward on the server, which I think maybe the issue and it could be dropping what it thinks it 'historical data' surely someone must have come across this before, how can this be simply resolved?

Check to make sure the timestamps are correct everywhere... The monitored host, the zabbix server and most importantly the machine you're running the web browser on.

Hi,

I m also facing same issue. But in my case i m able to retrieve the latest data.

I have check server date and monitored host date they all are same.

What about the clock on your local workstation, the one running your web browser?

[rangeshgupta]

i have tried that also, but the result is same.

Might be worth checking your system clock as compared to your hardware clock on your Zabbix servers. if you're on Linux-

System clock:
sudo date

To see your hardware clock:
sudo /sbin/hwclock --show

Lastly, make sure your settings are correct on your Zabbix App server in php.ini for your date.timezone setting.

Please find the output below:

[root@dc0 ~]# /sbin/hwclock --show
Fri 16 Jul 2010 12:08:19 PM IST -0.816221 seconds
[root@dc0 ~]# date
Fri Jul 16 12:08:20 IST 2010

What is your date.timezone setting in php.ini?

[rangeshgupta]

date.timezone = Etc/GMT-13

[nelsonab]

I think tcjts1 is on the right path. It's rare that Zabbix stores times wrong. Usually when there are time related problems it comes down to all hosts not being properly syncd on time and all hosts not having the proper timezone settings.

[jarrodh]

Here are my settings

in php.ini
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
date.timezone =NZST

and hwclock

@debian:~$ sudo /sbin/hwclock --show
Mon 19 Jul 2010 10:51:02 NZST -0.000587 seconds

Date is correct


Latest Data etc etc

Is there a way I can purge out the old 'latest data'? like rename a /log in /var/log somewhere
