Why does 'ERROR: Legacy Netprobes cannot support timezones.' error message occur?
Why does ‘ERROR: Legacy Netprobes cannot support timezones.’ error message occur? This happens when you use the Timezonesetting of the active time without enabling the gateway-controlled sampler active times setting. Geneos - Why does ‘ERROR: Legacy Netprobes cannot support timezones.’ error message occur? This can be enabled thru GSE -> Active Times -> Advanced Tab -> gateway-controlled sampler active times
Additional Information By default the netprobe controls the operation of active times assigned to samplers. When the gateway-controlled sampler active times is enabled, the control will be shifted to the gateway, resulting in the gateway messaging the netprobe as and when relevant active times are entered and exited. Enabling the flag allows active times assigned to samplers to have timezones specified.
An important note when enabling this feature is that unless the timezone is explicitly specified in the active time definition, the sampler active times will work according to the timezone on the gateway host. If this feature is not enabled, the sampler active times will work according to the time on the netprobe host.
