Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 10

Situation

Troubleshooting
Debug
Time, timestamps, time stamps
Timestamps in zmd-messages.log are out of order or in the wrong order
Mismatched timestamps in zmd-messages

Resolution

This is cosmetic.  The timestamps are correct but appear in the wrong place in the log.

Cause

Messages are stored in the %zenworks_home%\ExternalStore folder and are then consolidated in to zmd-messages.log every five minutes by the external messages processor.
