In Qradar, Chrony is used to perform time synchronization between the managed and the console. The service uses port 123 and cannot function properly when that port is used by another service.
Symptom
- In the Qradar system notifications you can see:
Time Synchronization to Console has failed - socat failed to initialize. - In the Qradar logs (/var/log/qradar.log):
