Here's some fortigate time tricks/tips

Here's a  few ways to find system time  if you don't have WebGUI access

1> cat proc  RTC  deteilas, time will be in UTC

fnsysctl cat /proc/driver/rtc

rtc_time        : 18:51:01

rtc_date        : 2017-05-09

rtc_epoch       : 1900

alarm           : **:**:**

DST_enable      : no

BCD             : yes

24hr            : yes

square_wave     : no

alarm_IRQ       : no

update_IRQ      : no

periodic_IRQ    : no

periodic_freq   : 1024

batt_status     : okay

2>  Get system status

FWSOC01 # get system status | grep time

System time: Tue May  9 11:51:27 2017

3>  Get the administrator status

FWSOC01 #  get sys admin status | grep current

current time: 2017-05-09 11:51:29

4>  Create a REV backup and immediately list the  REV, the timestamp would be the current time

execute backup config flash  BLOG

execute revision  list config
