When you have configured system integration correctly, IT Advisor retrieves accurate and up-to-date power measurements from the external system, such as Data Center Expert.

The IT Advisor and Data Center Expert servers can be physically positioned in different time zones. The system integration handles the time difference. However, both servers must be configured to synchronize time with the same NTP server:

Server	Time Synchronization Settings
IT Advisor	In the server's Webmin interface, IT Advisor > Setup
Data Center Expert	In System > Server Administration Settings > Time Settings

Otherwise, the retrieved power measurements may be out of sync:

Server Time	Consequence
IT Advisor ahead of Data Center Expert	No measured peak data retrieved
IT Advisor behind Data Center Expert	Incorrect measured peak data retrieved (out of sync)

For further instructions on how to configure system time synchronization for the Data Center Expert server, see the Data Center Expert documentation for Time settings.
