RE: [ISSForum] False data and time for events

My EC always was throtting alerts, adition of another one didn't help! And
how can I solve that problem I have not find! Installation one EC per each
sensor is not a solution, because SiteProtector (SP) supports up to 5 EC.

But I suppose that the problem is in Security Fusion Module (SFM), because
before I'd installed SFM the number of events per secont was approximately
the same, but time, showed in alerts was right. Now, with SFM, alert always
has time 30-90 min behind current time!
Please, someone from ISS, tell me, am I right? Is the problem in SFM?

Thank you all.

I had this issue when my Event Collector became overloaded because of too
many alerts per second (I believe the max is 500). Look for EC warnings
that mention throttling.

If that's the issue you'll need to add another EC or lessen your alerts.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Alerts seen in siteprotector all have wrong date/time's associated with
them, even though the operating systems they
run on have the correct time. Is seems the run time's of sensor updates
etc. are ~9 hours behind. Where are these false times

coming from?

Thanks,
Ayden
