Getting "Wait for NTP to synchronize" or "Waiting for NTP to be enabled or configured" error message ?
With version 9.0.17 (19162) the timestamp tools has been changed, so in the future you will need to have a NTP pool configured to use the Data Collection module.
With version 9.1 (619491006) a new option in DCM config file allows the user to disable the need for a NTP setup.
This is done with the config file entry "WaitForNTP": false in the general config file section.
See general section example at appendix A below.
The below displayed NTP setup is highly recommend when using AWS or Azure as IoT cloud services
Example:
The NTP can be configured in SiteManager GUI > System > Time
NOTE!
Time Zone offset has no effect as all timestamps used are in UTC.Please insert a valid NTP server pool.
You can use time.google.com or ntp.secomea.com
or you can find links to local NTP pools here , However the possibility of being blocked or ignored
(NTP KoD) is high when using a public NTP pool without subscription.
