[Nagiosplug-help] check_ntp

[Martinus Nel]

Dear all

Could some one explain the following please:

NTP WARNING: Jitter error and jitter 2.451 msec  +/- 1 msec

I get this from time to time.  The server I am checking against is local.

This happens every day, multiple times.  I have more than one server I do a
check_ntp against, some of the checks complains more, other less.

I would assume the line should be readin: "Offset error ..." ?

Does check_ntp use ntpq -p ?

Martinus.
