As per subject line. Whenever I receive an alert to say the WD MBL has restarted the date and time bear no relevance to the actual time the event took place.
I am in the UK and the MBL local login screen displays the correct info i.e. London Greenwich Mean Time, the date and time are fully synchronised and working OK. Given that is the case why are the alerts incorrect. We had a short power cut this morning Sunday 23rd December at approximately 10.30 am GMT, yet the alert I received by email states the following -
Event description:The system has restarted.
Severity:info
Event code:2001
Event time:12-21-2012 04:02:57 PM
Firmware version:02.32.05-144
As you will see, the event is some two days out plus the time is incorrect?
Any chance that the system sent this fault email when power was restored but synchronizing with PTB time server was not yet available, e.g . your internet connection took longer longer to recover?
Looking at the received email headers I note that the event time (Due to a system restart) was in fact the time that I shut the MBL down the night before !
I have looked back at this issue via email alerts and not one timed event has ever been remotley accurate. It is somewhat concerning that a company the size of WD cannot even get the time right.
I’m a new user to the MBL … I have a pair of 3TB devices… very impressed with the devices so far!
But, just wanted to confirm that I also receive incorrect date and timestamps on the dashboard notifications ON both devices.
I had a network down about 2 hours ago (its 25/1/2013 14:39 here in ZA) and have received notifications on both device dashboards dated 26/1/2013 02:39. However, email events appear to have the correct date and time.
