Note 'fsctl sync_clock' immediately takes effect - which can affect the times on your CDRs. You can end up undrebilling/overbilling, or even calls hungup before they originated. If FS currently shows 1999 then your CDRs are going to show calls that lasted for 15 years!

'fsctl sync_clock_when_idle' is much safer, which does the same but doesn't take effect until there are 0 channels in use. That way it doesn't affect any CDRs.

If memory serves me right, as soon as FreeSWITCH starts it gets the current time of the host and then keeps track of it independently from that point on. Having a date set way back to 1999 seems like the server has a malfunctioning RTC battery.

 

If you really want to fix this problem temporarily, you might want to run fsctl sync_clock to have FreeSWITCH resync the clock back to the correct time. Of course you can create a bunch of init scripts and have it to grab the correct time from a NTP server and then have FreeSWITCH to start after that.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Freeswitch is showing Incorrect time

 

Hello,

Not sure why but recently I noticed that Freeswitch is logging data with the wrong date

I noticed it first in the freeswitch log but I can see it also in the log that are display in the cli itself

the computer itself is ok

~# date
Sun Mar 10 20:13:05 EDT 2013

but :

freeswitch@internal> version
FreeSWITCH Version 1.3.13b+git~20130108T204816Z~8e892abdef (git 8e892ab 2013-01-08 20:48:16Z)

freeswitch@internal> strftime
1999-12-31 19:07:40

from freeswtich.log
1999-12-31 19:14:09.460477 [WARNING] sofia_reg.c:1506 SIP auth challenge (REGISTER) on sofia profile 'internal' for [1000@xx.xx.xx.xx] from ip xx.xx.xx.xx


This is right after a reboot since I thought a reboot would may be fix it

where does FS takes its time from?

The last time it was correctly logged was on the 9th of March ! We had a power cut that caused the system to reboot

thanks

/Philippe
