Unable to Fetch Time Synchronization Data

Unable to Fetch Time Synchronization Data

Overview:

  1. In the Active Directory monitor, if the monitored server is not a Primary Domain Controller (PDC), we fetch the name of its Primary DC and the time difference between the Primary DC and the monitored Secondary DC. 
  2. This information is retrieved by connecting to the monitored server using PowerShell remoting and executing the "w32tm /monitor" command:
  3. Before fetching this data, ensure that the PowerShell prerequisites are met.

Steps to Check the Data Directly on the Monitored Server:

  1. Open PowerShell in administrator mode in the target server. 
  2. Run the below command and check the output.
w32tm /monitor

Steps to check the data using PS script used in AppManager:

  1. Open PowerShell in administrator mode on the machine where Applications Manager is installed.
  2. Navigate to <AppManager-Home>\working\conf\application\scripts\powershell directory.
  3. Run the command below, replacing hostname, username, and password with the credentials used in the Active Directory monitor:
.\ADTimeSyncTest.ps1 'hostname' 'username' 'password'

Performance Polling Option:

  1. The Time Synchronization metrics are mapped under Performance Polling and can be modified by navigating to:
            Settings -> Performance Polling -> Optimize Data Collection -> Monitor Type -> Active Directory -> Metric Name -> Time Synchronization 
  2. Here, you can change the polling interval for these metrics or stop data collection as needed
