Looking at messages.log there appears to be an issue with the time sync as the time appears to jump 5 minutes back at regular intervals. We checked the time sync settings. The VCSA is using NTP to sync
Environment
VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.7.x
Resolution
We changed the VCSA settings to sync time with Host. Validate the Time Sync between vCenter Server Appliance and the ESXi Hosts in question
The issue also could be due to the Time sync difference between the NTP and the domain time. Validate the time settings on the Host and the vCSA to sync with the AD.
