title: Configuring time synchronization
|
|
intro: '{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} automatically synchronizes its clock by connecting to NTP servers. You can set the NTP servers that are used to synchronize the clock, or you can use the default NTP servers.'

### Changing the default NTP servers
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.enterprise_site_admin_settings.access-settings %}
|
|
{% data reusables.enterprise_site_admin_settings.management-console %}
|
|
2. In the left sidebar, click **Time**.
|
|
|
|
3. Under "Primary NTP server," type the hostname of the primary NTP server. Under "Secondary NTP server," type the hostname of the secondary NTP server.
|
|
|
|
4. At the bottom of the page, click **Save settings**.
|
|
|
|
5. Wait for the configuration run to complete.
|
|
|
|
### Correcting a large time drift
|
|
|
|
The NTP protocol continuously corrects small time synchronization discrepancies. You can use the administrative shell to synchronize time immediately.

**Notes:**
|
|
- You can't modify the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) zone.
|
|
- You should prevent your hypervisor from trying to set the virtual machine's clock. For more information, see the documentation provided by the virtualization provider.
|
|
|
|
{% endnote %}
|
|
|
|
- Use the `chronyc` command to synchronize the server with the configured NTP server. For example:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ sudo chronyc -a makestep
|
|
```
