Sometimes you don't know you want something until it's gone.

I was looking at this bug and thinking it might be nice to watch our
timeservers for drift and things, since time is frequently depended on
for everything but rarely verified (by me at least).

It looks like NtpPlugin has been removed from capsd and the only
reference to it now is in poller-config.properties.

Is it still possible to turn this on?  I'd love if it worked like
StrafePing where I tell it where I want to monitor and it only looks
there.  Or just leave it out of the "Foreign Source" list so it's not
discovered, but only polled if someone adds it directly to a nodes
services.


I guess the alternative is that since we're using FreeBSD for our
timeservers I can just write some kind of wrapper in net-snmp.  (but if
thats the case, you might want to excise the rest of NtpPlugin and close
the related bug(s))


Notes (for me):

http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/daily_ntp.html site with notes on
using MRTG for it (bleh)
http://www.oidview.com/mibs/9/CISCO-NTP-MIB.html
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ntp-ntpv4-mib-05

Cisco has a MIB so I may add it to our routers and see what happens.  It
looks like the ntpv4-mib draft expired two months ago with no revision
or final rfc (so doing SNMP in a standards compliant way is out)


Thanks,
Robert
