NTP servers configured do not match requirement-checkpoint-gaia,ipso
Vendor: checkpoint
OS: gaia,ipso
Description:
Indeni can verify that certain NTP servers are configured on a specific device.
Remediation Steps:
Update the configuration of the device to match the requirement.
How does this work?
This script parses through the configuration database located in /config/active directory to retrieve the configured NTP servers.
Why is this important?
This metric records configured NTP servers. NTP servers are used to sync the time across all hosts and network devices. This is critical for things such as event correlation and logging. With this information Indeni alerts if the NTP configuration on cluster members are not the same.
Without Indeni how would you find this?
An administrator could login and manually run the command.
