timex.plugin
This plugin monitors the system kernel clock synchronization state.
This plugin creates the following charts:
- System clock synchronization state according to the system kernel
- System clock status which gives the value of the
time_status
variable in the kernel - Computed time offset between local system and reference clock
This is obtained from the information provided by the ntp_adjtime() system call. An unsynchronized clock may indicate a hardware clock error, or an issue with UTC synchronization.
Configuration
Edit the netdata.conf
configuration file using edit-config
from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata
.
Scroll down to the [plugin:timex]
section to find the available options:
[plugin:timex]
# update every = 1
# clock synchronization state = yes
# time offset = yes
