  • What is your /etc/localtime linked to? Are all machines running on UTC system time (they should be)? Is the current time summer time or winter time where you are? EEST is UTC +3 hours. Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 13:32
  • It is linked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/EET but the date command always shows EEST. It is still winter time here, by the end of the week will be switching to EEST Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 13:36
  • If you are in Jordan, use /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Amman. If you are in Syria, use /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Damascus. Not all countries in the EET zone switches to summer time at the same time, so you'll need to be a bit more specific when you pick the time zone. Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 13:47
  • I tried it and nothing changed. The EET timezone used to work fine. That was the setup until like few weeks ago when we noticed drift in archived data timestamps. Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 14:01
  • Did the drifting machines get their system clocks set to EET too? The system clock should be in UTC. Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 14:03
