DNCA Time Source
About this task
If needed, you can configure the Unica Discover Network Capture Application to rely on the Discover Transport Service as the local time source. When enabled, the DNCA queries the Transport Service at periodic intervals for the current time. To resolve discrepancies, the DNCA speeds up or slows down its time incrementing to "drift" toward the value of the local time source.
Note: Unless you are synchronizing time
through another mechanism, you must configure the DNCA to synchronize by
using one of the delivery peers as the source. Complete the following
steps to do so.
Procedure
- Click the DNCA Web Console - Delivery Tab.
-
In the Use Discover Transport Service as Time Source
panel, enter the Host or Address name and port number of the Discover Transport Service that is the master time source.
- These values must be set to one of the delivery peers that are previously configured.
- If it is not provided, the port number defaults to
1966.
