10 minute time difference

[carter at qosient.com]

Hey Jason,
Radium can "correct" the time if configured to do so, so be sure that is not set.

Other than that no elements other than Argus can set the time.  I'd connect to radium and see of the times are ok and then connect to Argus to make sure that those times are consistent.

The "ltime" is going to be closer to the file time than the "stime" do use that to see of it gets any better, and consider using rasplit(), as that is sensitive to the times in the actual records.

A large ARGUS_FAR_STATUS, causes Argus to hold records for long time, so that can generate confusion.

Check these out and if all is still somewhat inconsistent, send more email.

I am running radium and writing to a file into a file location, /data/var/argus.out.  Every five minutes I copy this file into a directory and rename the file to the current date and time.  While reading this file with ra, it appears to be 10 minutes in the past.  For example, a file that is named 2010-01-18-10:25:00.argus contains data from 10:15-10:20.  Is there a reason why this would occur?  The timestamps on the data source are synced with ntp as is the destination.

Thanks,

Jason
