Date and Time (NTP)
The Date and Time screen displays any NTP information specified during installation. This is an optional portion of the configuration, but is highly recommended due to the effect of database timestamps on the behavior of the system, as well as on the quality of reporting. Currently, only UTC time display is supported. If you choose to use a local time source, instead, then you can specify the date in this screen.
