Hi,

Please see the below messages logs:

Sep 19 23:33:19 QUEBE ntpd[25550]: 0.0.0.0 0617 07 panic_stop -3413 s; set clock manually within 1000 s.
Sep 19 23:33:19 QUEBE systemd[1]: ntpd.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=255/n/a
Sep 19 23:33:19 QUEBE systemd[1]: Unit ntpd.service entered failed state.
Sep 19 23:33:19 QUEBE systemd[1]: ntpd.service failed.

Iam unable to find root cause for this issue,Could you please tell us why NTP service going down daily ?

Thanks in advance

Is your system virtual? Then check the time on the host.

What distribution/version are you running?

Is this a physical or virtual machine?

If virtual what are you running? i.e VirtualBox, VMware etc.

Are you using a NTP pool or other local time server?

Hi,

Iam using VMware virtual server.

Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo) Operating system.

...and, about an hour later...
As with many of your other posts, you failed to provide information, despite being asked previously in other threads to read the "Question Guidelines" link. Also, posting back within an hour, just to bump your own thread doesn't make people want to respond to you any faster. If you need 'urgent' help with Red Hat Enterprise 7...then I suggest you CALL RED HAT and use the support you're paying for (RIGHT?? You are PAYING FOR RHEL????)

And since this appears to be 'urgent', did you try putting "rhel 7 ntp stops daily" into Google??? Do ANY basic research first?

If you're not paying for RHEL, chances are you are missing patches/bugfixes/updates that may help with this issue. You say nothing about your VMWare either...is IT patched/up to date/paid for? Check the hardware clock on the host? Check the logs? Have you done ANY diagnostics as of yet, other than posting the general error??

In addition, make sure that periodic time synchronization is disabled.

Although this link is a bit old it might have some information that is still relevant.

Does the VMware ESX host have the correct time?
