Solved HALP! My System Status Graph is Doing Somersaults and/or Time Travel. (Screenshot Attached)

What in the world is going on here? This is a brand new install of the 3CX Debian ISO on WS2019 Datacenter. I had 3CX running on my old ESXi server without problems.

amount of memory seems very low no?

I noticed that too. Apparently it doesn’t work well with dynamic memory. I turned dynamic memory off and increased the RAM to 2GB. Still having the same problem.

Since you mentioned Server 2019 Datacenter are you using ESXi or Hyper-V?

Hyper-V

When you made the VM did you make it a gen 1 VM and give a static MAC address?

Just trying to think of anything it could be.

Check and check. I did both.

It would probably be best to use a process manager like top to see what is spiking the resources.

When that graph was made, the hypervisor was only allocating 512MB to the machine. I have since given it 2GB, and I’m still having the time travel issue. I don’t think it’s a resources issue.

never seen a case like yours, we discover something,

TimeMachine edition ? ))
Lokks like NTP was adjusting a local time...

Hi,

It looks like the clock of the machine is changing, that would be enough to explain the graph.

You should look into NTP section of the guide posted above, and also ensure that the hypervisor is not doing anything weird with the time sync.

 

[kruso.tech]

For anybody who runs into this problem in the future: It was solved by setting up the NTP in Debian (like I should have done during installation).

Yet another case of PEBKAC.

No worries, glad to hear it was resolved!
