Issue #7520 has been updated by Max Martin.
After chatting with Daniel about this, we've decided we're going to retain the client timestamp as the primary timestamp, but may possibly add in a "processed by the master" timestamp. Doing so will probably involve a minor update to the report format, and also might have lots of unintended effects (since there are lots of consumers of report data in the puppet ecosystem), so this isn't a change that we want to shove into Telly at the last minute. As such, we will work on getting this in in the first minor update to Telly. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7520: timestamp on reports should be taken from server, not client https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7520#change-62493 Author: Chris Phillips Status: Needs Decision Priority: High Assignee: Daniel Pittman Category: Target version: 3.X Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7 Keywords: Branch: The timestamp on a report is taken from the report data sent by the client. If, for example, a new machine is being built and the system clock has not been set and ntp is not yet running and synchronized then the report can easily have a date in the future, or significantly in the past. The time of a report should come from the time that the puppetmaster believes it receives it and should not be taken directly from the data sent back by the client. I originally noticed this inconsistency in Dashboard, but is surely an issue coming out of Puppet (unless Dashboard has multiple timestamps to use and is making a bad choice of which one it uses) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
