NTP servers configured do not match requirement-fortinet-FortiOS

NTP servers configured do not match requirement-fortinet-FortiOS

Vendor: fortinet

OS: FortiOS

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 logs into the FortiGate using SSH and retrieves the NTP servers configuration status information using the output of the “diagnose sys ntp status” command. The output includes the device’s servers configuration status as well as information about the NTP configured parameters.

Why is this important?
This metric shows if at least a NTP server is configured. 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. Use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to set the date and time if possible. However, it is important to ensure the NTP UDP port is allowed through the firewalls on your network. FortiToken synchronization requires NTP in many situations.

Without Indeni how would you find this?
An administrator would need to log into the device and use the “diagnose sys ntp status” command to identify if the NTP servers are reachable from the device.
