Discussion

If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Time is commonly expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Check Content

1. View the clock setting:
show clock

2. Verify the clock is set to use UTC.

If the Cisco ISE does not use UTC, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the clock to UTC using the CLI:
clock timezone UTC

Note: Sites may set the time zone to record time stamps in the local time zone (EDT) and then map to UTC.
