An issue we have during hardware refresh or upgrades some times is one or more appliances internal clock can be off my many seconds.  I  thought under 8.6.x ntpupdate was added, but can't find in release notes or a grid already at 8.6.2.  

Is the option to force ntpupdate likely in future releases.  Not checked 9.x.x as yet.

    the "synctime" command was added in NIOS-8.6.2. You need to go into maintenance mode first by executing: "set maintenancemode"

    Example using bogus IP addresses:

    [...]@[...] > set maintenancemode

    Maintenance Mode > synctime
    Configured external NTP servers:
    1.2.3.4, 2.3.4.5, 3.4.5.6
    If one of the servers above is reachable and a part of the list of configured NTP servers, please use that NTP server.
    Enter the NTP server's IP address [Default: 1.2.3.4]:
