Asterisk Time Issues - Time correct on Server but not Inside Asterisk

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hey guys, I’m having issues with the time in Asterisk after a recent reboot…

The time on the server itself is fine…

root@asterisk:~# date
Fri 21 May 2021 02:24:40 PM EDT

But inside Asterisk it’s running UTC —

Asterisk 16.13.0 built by root @ asterisk on a x86_64 running Linux on 2020-09-09 12:44:17 UTC

root@asterisk:~# timedatectl
Local time: Fri 2021-05-21 14:27:24 EDT
Universal time: Fri 2021-05-21 18:27:24 UTC
RTC time: Fri 2021-05-21 18:27:24
Time zone: America/New_York (EDT, -0400)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no

Everything seems right to me bug can’t figure out why Asterisk keeps using UTC… now my time rules for open and close hours aren’t working right…

help ?

That’s the date and time when Asterisk was built. It is always displayed in UTC. Your dialplan issue would be unrelated to that specific line.

3

Any suggestions as to what may be causing the time difference between the system and Asterisk ?

4

I don’t have experience with that, I was just clarifying regarding the line you pasted.

5

It might be a difference between the system and your console session (TZ set in the latter), rather than between Asterisk and the system.

Does

        same = n,                       datetime()
        same = n,                       hangup()

confirm your suspicion?

Does

sudo cat /proc/<asterisk-pid>/environ\
        | tr '\000' '\n'

yield any clues?

On the mailing list, that command shows up as:

sudo cat /proc//environ
> tr ‘%{email_content}00’ ‘\n’

Odd.

You should access asterisk cli by command : asterisk -r and see whether time have different or not.

If time show in asterisk cli correctly, so you may forgot set timezone when setup timecondition.
