Task
During the daily standup, it was pointed out that the timezone across
Nautilus Application Servers
inStratos Datacenter
doesn't match the local datacenter's timezone, which isAmerica/Asuncion
.
Information
Implementation
We have three App Servers in which we have to update the timezones to America/Asuncion if not already to it. Therefore it's just a matter of accessing each server and using timedatectl to update the timezone. Repeat the steps below for each server:
ssh
into the App Server with login details above:
View the currently set Time Zone to determine if it needs to be updated. Update if not set to
America/Asuncion
:Looks like it needs to be updated. We can do so using
timedatectl set-timezone ZONE
command. Referencetimedatectl --help
for other commands.
Learning Takeaways
A great command to keep in the toolbox. Never had any use for it before, but I just used this to update my timezone to America/Edmonton
on my local ubuntu server. Granted, it won't pay any dividends, other than when running the date command to give the current time in MST.
