Controller node¶

Install and configure components¶

1. Install the packages:

   # apt-get install chrony
   

2. Edit the /etc/chrony/chrony.conf file and add, change, or remove the following keys as necessary for your environment:

   server NTP_SERVER iburst
   

   Replace NTP_SERVER with the hostname or IP address of a suitable more accurate (lower stratum) NTP server. The configuration supports multiple server keys.

   Note

   By default, the controller node synchronizes the time via a pool of public servers. However, you can optionally configure alternative servers such as those provided by your organization.

3. Restart the NTP service:

   # service chrony restart
