Re: [Nagios-users] check_ntp_peer reports stratum off-by-one?
Hi Matthew I apologise for lecturing you, I thought you were confused over that aspect. But certainly it is reporting the stratum of its peer. With -v on one of our servers I get for example in part parsing stratum from peer bf36: 2 and bf36 hex is 48950 which is the associationID of our timesource which is stratum 2. We only have a single timesource so I'm not sure how it deals with multiple host strata. My guess would be it just takes that of the asterisked timesource.

I understand exactly how NTP works and what a peer is. The ntpq command I ran is giving me the stratum of that server, not of its peers. Are you saying that check_ntp_peer connects to a remote server and reports on its *peers* rather than on it? That seems to contradict the help documentation. How is it able to distill the strata of several of that server's peers into a single stratum value? -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_ntp_peer reports stratum off-by-one?
Hi Matthew Its neither, its actually you not understanding what peer means. Peer is effectively the next time server (or servers) up the chain, so generally they will be different by one. To see what peer means, type in ntpq, then type in peer. That will list the peers of your server and their strata, NOT the stratum of your server. The main usage of peers is to make sure you are getting time from the correct source or sources.

Stephen Most email systems move messages to a retry queue if the first attempt at sending fails. If your email does something like that you can just write a simple script to check whether it is empty or not and return a status to Nagios. There might be a genuine reason why the first send fails, but at least you get alerted. You could even get the script to send a test email at this point and check whether the queue grows by one.

We also run the risk of being accused of 'excessive' number of emails with our ISP's email server.
