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

  1. Click the DNCA Web Console - Delivery Tab.
  2. 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.
