This alarm indicates the NTP offset of the server
that is currently being synced to is greater than the major threshold.

Recovery:
Verify NTP settings and that NTP sources can be
reached.
Ensure ntpd service is running.
Verify the content of the /etc/ntp.conf file is
correct for the server.
Verify the ntp peer configuration; execute ntpq
-p and analyze the output. Verify peer data, (such as tally code (first column
before "remote"), remote, refid, stratum (st), and jitter), are valid for
server.
Execute ntpstat to determine the ntp time
synchronization status. If not synchronized or the stratum is not correct for
server then ping the ntp peer to determine if peer can be reached.
If the ntp peer is reachable, restart the ntpd
service.
If the problem persists then a reset the NTP date
may resolve the issue.
Note:
Prior to the reset of the ntp date the
applications may need to be stopped, and subsequent to the ntp reset, the
application restarted.
