Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for synchronizing timestamps of a sensor report to the clock of a device. In one embodiment, the device receives a report from a sensor of a node. The report can include a network activity of the node captured by the sensor and a first timestamp relative to the clock of the node. The device can then determine a second timestamp relative to the clock of the collector indicating receipt of the report by the device and from the sensor at the node. The device can also determine a delta between the first timestamp and the second timestamp, and a communication latency associated with a communication channel between the device and the sensor. Next, the device can adjust the delta based on the communication latency, and generate a third timestamp based on the adjusted delta.
