# OpenNTPD Input Plugin
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Get standard NTP query metrics from OpenNTPD ([OpenNTPD - a FREE, easy to use
|
|||
|
implementation of the Network Time Protocol](http://www.openntpd.org/)).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Below is the documentation of the various headers returned from the NTP query
|
|||
|
command when running `ntpctl -s peers`.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- remote – The remote peer or server being synced to.
|
|||
|
- wt – the peer weight
|
|||
|
- tl – the peer trust level
|
|||
|
- st (stratum) – The remote peer or server Stratum
|
|||
|
- next – number of seconds until the next poll
|
|||
|
- poll – polling interval in seconds
|
|||
|
- delay – Round trip communication delay to the remote peer
|
|||
|
or server (milliseconds);
|
|||
|
- offset – Mean offset (phase) in the times reported between this local host and
|
|||
|
the remote peer or server (RMS, milliseconds);
|
|||
|
- jitter – Mean deviation (jitter) in the time reported for that remote peer or
|
|||
|
server (RMS of difference of multiple time samples, milliseconds);
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Configuration:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```toml
|
|||
|
# Get standard NTP query metrics, requires ntpctls executable
|
|||
|
# provided by openntpd packages
|
|||
|
[[inputs.openntpd]]
|
|||
|
## If running as a restricted user you can prepend sudo for additional access:
|
|||
|
#use_sudo = false
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## The default location of the ntpctl binary can be overridden with:
|
|||
|
binary = "/usr/sbin/ntpctl"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## The default timeout of 1000ms can be overriden with (in milliseconds):
|
|||
|
#timeout = 1000
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Measurements & Fields:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- ntpctl
|
|||
|
- delay (float, milliseconds)
|
|||
|
- jitter (float, milliseconds)
|
|||
|
- offset (float, milliseconds)
|
|||
|
- poll (int, seconds)
|
|||
|
- next (int,,seconds)
|
|||
|
- wt (int)
|
|||
|
- tl (int)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Tags:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- All measurements have the following tags:
|
|||
|
- remote
|
|||
|
- stratum
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Permissions:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It's important to note that this plugin references ntpctl, which may require
|
|||
|
additional permissions to execute successfully.
|
|||
|
Depending on the user/group permissions of the telegraf user executing this
|
|||
|
plugin, you may need to alter the group membership, set facls, or use sudo.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
**Group membership (Recommended)**:
|
|||
|
```bash
|
|||
|
$ groups telegraf
|
|||
|
telegraf : telegraf
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ usermod -a -G ntpd telegraf
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ groups telegraf
|
|||
|
telegraf : telegraf ntpd
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
**Sudo privileges**:
|
|||
|
If you use this method, you will need the following in your telegraf config:
|
|||
|
```toml
|
|||
|
[[inputs.openntpd]]
|
|||
|
use_sudo = true
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You will also need to update your sudoers file:
|
|||
|
```bash
|
|||
|
$ visudo
|
|||
|
# Add the following line:
|
|||
|
telegraf ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/ntpctl
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Please use the solution you see as most appropriate.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Example Output:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ telegraf --config ~/ws/telegraf.conf --input-filter openntpd --test
|
|||
|
