I am experiencing weird clock drift and cannot tell if it is my server causing this issue. My expectation is ignition gets its clock from server/pc where it is running.
The problem is, we haven't event get to 19Apr2025 yet, and now I get that events and I am trying to find a way to detect if my server/pc change system time randomly.
This is currently creating problematic events where my historian starts to log that future time into my database so is there a way to resolve this clock drift events?
That's a big jump... almost 140 days?
Maybe set up an NTP Server or otherwise make sure your server's clock is regularly being synced...
If you're working on a system that can't be connected to a normal time server you can buy an atomic clock and synch with that. We had to do that for a prison job once.

Does that mean when ignition gets wrong time, everything is messed up? Is there any fault tolerant settings that can be setup to handle clock drift that much?
Ignition gets its time from the OS. It needs to be addressed by ensuring the system clock is relatively accurate.
