MongoDB Error 204: Clock Synchronization Issues
Description
Error 204, 'Time Proof Mismatch', indicates a discrepancy in time-related information within your MongoDB deployment. This typically occurs when different members of a replica set or distributed system have inconsistent system clocks, leading to failures in operations that rely on strict time ordering or proof of time. It often impacts data consistency and cluster stability.
Error Message
Time Proof Mismatch
Known Causes
3 known causesSystem Clock Skew
Significant differences in the system clocks between MongoDB replica set members or sharded cluster components can lead to this mismatch.
NTP Configuration Errors
Improper or missing Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronization can cause server clocks to drift, resulting in time proof mismatches.
Network Latency or Jitter
High network latency or inconsistent network performance can interfere with the accurate exchange of time-sensitive information between nodes.
