Difference between Clock and date in F5

Guys,

 

Can you let me know the exact difference for clock and date in f5. When I check the logs from bash the log time it shows matches to the "date" output. When I check the logs from tmsh the log time matches to "date" output. Is there a way to change the clock timing?

    Very confused about what you're asking here - all of those things are taken from the system clock which is controlled by NTP normally or if not then can be set using the date command.

    AFAIK, the dates should match whether you are using the 

    tmsh show sys clock
    command or the 
    date
    / 
    clock
    commands from bash

    The LTM logs should reflect the time zone too.

    Do you have a timezone configured?

    tmsh list sys ntp timezone

    The output should be something like this

    sys ntp {
    timezone US/Eastern
}
