Time synchronization is important for the operation of vRealize Log Insight. By default, vRealize Log Insight synchronizes time with a pre-defined list of public NTP servers.
NTP Configuration
Configure consistent NTP sources on all systems that send log data (vCenter Server, ESXi, vRealize Operation Manager). See Time Synchronization in the VMware Validated Design Planning and Preparation documentation.
