Time
The system date and time are configured in the command line interface (CLI) when AppResponse 11 is installed. You can change the system date and time in the Time tab on the Administration > System Settings: General page. Changes to these settings can only be made by a user with read/write system configuration permissions.
The system date and time changes can be entered manually or synched with a PTP or NTP server. By default, AppResponse uses the Riverbed-provided NTP server and these public NTP servers:
◼ 0.riverbed.pool.ntp.org
◼ 1.riverbed.pool.ntp.org
◼ 2.riverbed.pool.ntp.org
◼ 3.riverbed.pool.ntp.org
PTP is not supported when using AppResponse 11 virtual edition.
This section covers the following:
Time zone
Select your time zone from the drop-down list. The default is America/Los_Angeles. You also can select GMT or UTC for the time zone.
To select how the time zone is displayed, go to the Administration > Other: User Preferences page and see
