Monitoring Time/Date

Question

Is there a way to monitor the time?  We have been having issues with two servers becoming out of sync with time and would like to recieve an alert if there is a difference of a minute or any custom difference.  Any help appreciated.

This is mostly between two database servers and comparing both of these would be best.

That polller points to the Cisco NTP OIDS. You might be able to replace that OID with the host one but I have not tested that.

If you're using NTP, you might be able to check via these pollers (haven't tested against servers though), and alert.

Try a UnDP on 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.2, Host MIB:hrSystemDate. It works on my 2003 Server.
