we have a very strange behavior
we have 12 Linux redhat machines - redhat 7.x
two of these VM servers are loosing the time synchronize each day at 5:00 in the morning
after we restart the chronyd , then sync return to normal
but what could be the reason for this strange behavior ?
systemctl status chronyd
● chronyd.service - NTP client/server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/chronyd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-07-12 20:49:43 UTC; 2 days ago
Main PID: 971 (chronyd)
CGroup: /system.slice/chronyd.service
└─971 /usr/sbin/chronyd
the servers:
dmidecode | grep -i vm
Manufacturer: VMware, Inc.
Product Name: VMware Virtual Platform
Serial Number: VMware-42 24 19 ee 87 95 0b a8-16 da b6 ce d3 4e ff 6a

1Do you mean that the servers are VMs or do you mean that they host VMs? – user1686 – 2019-07-15T06:35:49.083
1Are there any suspicious journal messages immediately before the time sync is lost? – user1686 – 2019-07-15T06:36:16.380
the servers are VMs ( see the update of the question ) – King David – 2019-07-15T06:39:02.510
