I am trying to graph the ntp offset of a few ntp servers. I can see a defin=
ition in hobbitgraph referring to [ntpstat] and have defined the ntp test i=
n the bb-hosts file, but I don't see any rrds being generated and obviously=
no graphs for the hosts.
What do I need to do to make the graphs appear?
Heh, I didn't realize that had snuck into the distribution :-)
It's using data from "ntpq", running as a client-side add-on on the box
that you want to monitor ntp for. It's dead simple:
#!/bin/sh
# This script is an extension for the BB client running on
# your server. It will feed data about the local NTP daemon
# into Hobbit, where the offset between the NTP reference
# clock and the local clock will be graphed.
$BB $BBDISP "data $MACHINE.ntpstat
`ntpq -c \"rv 0 offset\"`
"
exit 0
