Vérifier que NTP fonctionne
Une fois ntp installé et configuré comment vérifier que tout fonctionne correctement ?
On peut utiliser un de ces deux programmes pour vérifier la bonne configuration :
- ntpq – standard NTP query program
- ntpstat – show network time synchronisation status
ntpstat commande
The ntpstat command will report the synchronisation state of the NTP daemon running on the local machine. If the local system is found to be synchronised to a reference time source, ntpstat will report the approximate time accuracy.
exit status
You can use the exit status (return values) to verify its operations from a shell script or command line itself:
- exit status 0 – Clock is synchronised.
- exit status 1 – Cock is not synchronised.
- exit status 2 – If clock state is indeterminant, for example if ntpd is not contactable.
Type the command as follows:
$ ntpstat
Sample outputs:
synchronised to NTP server (149.20.54.20) at stratum 3 time correct to within 42 ms polling server every 1024 s
Use the echo command to display exit status of ntp client:
$ echo $?
Sample outputs:
0
ntpq command
The ntpq utility program is used to monitor NTP daemon ntpd operations and determine performance. The program can be run either in interactive mode or controlled using command line arguments. Type the following command
$ ntpq -pn
OR
$ ntpq -p
Sample outputs:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *dione.cbane.org 204.123.2.5 2 u 509 1024 377 51.661 -3.343 0.279 +ns1.your-site.c 132.236.56.252 3 u 899 1024 377 48.395 2.047 1.006 +ntp.yoinks.net 129.7.1.66 2 u 930 1024 377 0.693 1.035 0.241 LOCAL(0) .LOCL. 10 l 45 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.001
The above is an example of working ntp client. Where,
- -p : Print a list of the peers known to the server as well as a summary of their state.
- -n : Output all host addresses in dotted-quad numeric format rather than converting to the canonical host names
