System Settings : Dashboard : System Information widget : Setting the date and time
 
Setting the date and time
You can either manually set the FortiAnalyzer system time and date, or configure the FortiAnalyzer unit to automatically keep its system time correct by synchronizing with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
 
For many features to work, including scheduling, logging, and SSL-dependent features, the FortiAnalyzer system time must be accurate.
To configure the date and time:
1. Go to System Settings > Dashboard.
2. In the System Information widget, in the System Time field, select Change.
The Change System Time Settings dialog box appears.

3. Configure the following settings to either manually set the system time, or to automatically synchronize the FortiAnalyzer unit’s clock with an NTP server:
System Time
The date and time according to the FortiAnalyzer unit’s clock at the time that this tab was loaded, or when you last selected the Refresh button for the System Information widget.
Time Zone
Select the time zone in which the FortiAnalyzer unit is located and whether or not the system automatically adjusts for daylight savings time.
Set Time
Select this option to manually set the date and time of the FortiAnalyzer unit’s clock, then select the Hour, Minute, Second, Year, Month, and Day fields before you select OK.
Synchronize with NTP Server
Select this option to automatically synchronize the date and time of the FortiAnalyzer unit’s clock with an NTP server, then configure the Syn Interval and Server fields before you select OK. Select the plus (+) icon to add multiple NTP servers.
 
Sync Interval
Enter how often in minutes the FortiAnalyzer unit should synchronize its time with the NTP server. For example, entering 1440 causes the Fortinet unit to synchronize its time once a day.
 
Server
Enter the IP address or domain name of an NTP server. To find an NTP server that you can use, go to http://www.ntp.org.
