Alberta has cancelled Daylight savings time. So no "fall behind, spring ahead". My Proxmox shows the correct time in the shell, I have the latest updates. The syslog shows an hour ago as does the email tracker.I have checked everywhere and the system has the correct time, its just the Email gateway that is processing on the wrong time. Googles Ai suggests its browser based, but I have tried this on several desktops and other servers which are correctly synced and still have this issue.

How can we update the proxmox so that the tracker and the syslog show the correct time?

Also, my subscription was billed last night so its current and was current before this.

Thanks very much for any help.

Hello,
sadly I can't answer your question but if you happen to have a support subscription ( they start with the basic subscription) you should be able to file a support ticket. This might give you a faster answer than the forum community.

Thank you for the response. In Canada the Euro is just way too high in conversion,. Email is something we have to provide that doesn't actually make any money. Everything we provide to it is at our own expense. I'm sure I am not the only person having this issue. The time data, timezone and sync is fine on the actual server, it's the proxmox gui that is pulling it's time from someplace else. Even in the configuration page the time shows correct, just not in syslog nor in the tracker. I'm sure they will fix it sooner or later, but it would be nice if this could be adjusted by us.

I feel you, I can't even afford the community subscription right nw.. I just wanted to point out that this is the community forum and although stuff members are also present here (thanks for this!) most support here is from fellow community members like yours truly, who want to give something back.

If this is an actual bug (which seems likely but as said I can't reproduce due to not using PMG) it's propably worth to file a bug on https://bugzilla.proxmox.com Different to the forum an bugzilla entry is more likely to get noticed by staff members, since they regulary monitor the new issues.. After all other Proxmox software might also be having the same problem and an actual bug is something different than asking bugzilla instead of forum for the best way how to setup your storage/network for a ProxmoxVE cluster :)
 
I have submitted this as a bug. I don't know if that will help but another client of mine has a proxmox email gateway that I suggested they get and they have the same issue exactly. I think you are correct, without a paid support subscription there is little chance that a staff or support person would see this. As the time on the server is correct and the time in the GUI is correct I can see no reason why the proxmox server would use a third time setting specifically for these two areas, the tracker and the syslog. It is an aggravating issue though.

The zip file contains 3 screen shots. The config page which shows the correct time, the syslog page taken seconds after the config page showing the wrong time and the tracker page taken a few seconds ish after that also with the wrong time.

root@proxmox:~# timedatectl status

root@proxmox:~# apt policy tzdata
tzdata:

The server is totally up to date. I also checked this against a clients proxmox email gateway and its exactly the same. We've tried everything including changing timezone to central and nothing helps. The shell shows the correct time and date.

Thank you very much for your time.
 
Hi,

After seeing the zip, none of your screen shows the time using ssh commands (only screen of the WebUI) and/or what is registered in the log files.

Your bugtracker issue should show the result of apt policy tzdata && timedatectl status && tail /var/log/mail.log to prove the issue is only on the WebUI and the log files on the host have the correct timestamp.

Best regards,
