 Hey Henrik,

 Thanks for this, I didn't even know I wanted one of these until it was 
 mentioned!

 Only issue for me is a Solaris-specific one, in that "rv 0 offset" 
 doesn't work because the default Solaris ntpq program doesn't understand 
 0 as a valid association. I'm still trying to figure out a different way 
 of getting the system time offset on a Solaris box (without installing a 
 different NTP client!), have you heard of anything?

 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

"ntpq -c peers" also reports offset.
On solaris 9/10 clients, you could use:


$BB $BBDISP "data $MACHINE.ntpstat

`echo offset=\`ntpq -c peers | tail +3 | head -1 | awk '{ print $9 }'\``
"
exit 0
