That makes perfect sense. Seeing as how I'm more interested in how many clients are connecting as opposed to what their IP addresses are I'm going to hold off on increasing clientloglimit.
Is there functionality available to report on the number of unique NTP clients? If not, where can I submit a feature request? -- Isaac McDonald -----Original Message----- From: Miroslav Lichvar [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2016 10:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [chrony-users] "clients" command maxes out at 4096 On Tue, May 31, 2016 at 05:19:25PM +0000, McDonald, Isaac wrote: > Hello, > > > > I've noticed the "clients" command appears to stop listing clients at 4096. > Is this intentional?

The amount of memory used for monitoring clients is limited, so chronyd running on a public server doesn't try to take all memory and crash. It can be configured with the clientloglimit directive. By default, it's 1 MB by default, which allows monitoring of 4096 clients at the same time. You can increase it as much as you want and there should be no impact on the maximum packet rate the server will handle. Just the chronyc clients command will take much longer :). -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email [email protected] with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
