I checked internally and found that this message can be because SNMP traps cannot be sent, like the trap destination is not reachable.
And for Airwave managed controllers/conductors this message is expected and can be ignored:
"Airwave does send an empty get request every time a session is created. In this case, during the unresponsive state of the controller, airwave is trying to create a session and sending an empty get request message. That is why the controller is replying with this report message and hence we are throwing this warning message."
It may be good to open a TAC case to get a confirmation if this is the case in your situation as well.

Thanks Herman.
I re-checked and all NTP configs and reachability are good, and devices are all in sync.
Curious about the 'WARNING' regarding the local-interface.

NTP version is ntp-4.2.8p15.

The message 'Not in life time window' would suggest me to have a look at the time on all of your devices. It's recommended to use NTP to synchronize the device clock to the same time source.

Seeing this in all MC/WC devices and would like to understand what is going on and how to resolve the problem.
MC/WC devices are all provisioned in Airwave.
