vSphere-EsxNTPRule-VVD#SDDCVIESXi04 - Incorrect finding

We have the following critical finding in Skyline for one of our ESXi hosts.

This finding seems to be incorrect. NTP is configured on this host, like for the 31 other hosts in the same cluster. Same NTP server is used for all, firewall ports are open and the host received the time from the NTP server. I tried restarting the NTP daemon but this did not solve the "issue".

Description

NTP is not configured on your ESXi hosts. The time must be synchronized in the environment.

Apparently it just took a long time to update the situation, but after 3 days this finding has disappeared.

It looks like restarting the NTP service on the host was enough to fix it.
