log entries are out of order

[john livingston]

What conditions would create log entries out of order in relation to their timestamps?

The following is a log snippet from one stage of a Bamboo Plan.

Atlassian Bamboo version 5.4.2 build 4208 - 03 Mar 14

You probably don't have ntp set up either on agent or the server. The first section comes from the agent and the second from the server.

I think it would be benficial to note host names as part of the log message when hosts other than the local server are involved.
