NAME
|
||||
ntpa - NTP Analyzer daemon program
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
ntpa --config file [--temp path] [--writepid file] [--daemon name]
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The ntpa daemon is the core process in the NTP Analyzer system.
|
||||
ntpa(1) is responsible for collecting data from NTP daemons. Data are
|
||||
collected using ntpq(8) and ntpctl(8). The ntpa daemon also generates
|
||||
graphs and web pages and perform other tasks like sending status mails.
|
||||
|
||||
The graphs and HTML files generated by ntpa are placed in the ntpa www
|
||||
directory and can be presented by any web server. Additional JavaScript
|
||||
and CSS files are also located in the ntpa www directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Pages can be made responsive by configuring them with Bootstrap and
|
||||
jQuery. This way they are viewable on mobile devices and not only on
|
||||
traditional PC screens.
|
||||
|
||||
ntpa can be started with the following options:
|
||||
|
||||
--config file
|
||||
Mandatory configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
--temp path
|
||||
Specifies the working directory. Default is /tmp
|
||||
|
||||
--writepid file
|
||||
Specifies where the pid file should be written.
|
||||
|
||||
--daemon name
|
||||
The name of the instance.
|
||||
|
||||
--help Show help and version info.
|
||||
|
||||
KNOWN BUGS
|
||||
Counters for packets received, Packets received accumulated and Packets
|
||||
received since reset are signed 32 bit and overflows are not handled.
|
||||
Values above 2,147,483,647 are shown as 0.
|
||||
|
||||
When a host page is configured to be shown in UTC but data was recorded
|
||||
in local time graphs and time stamps mismatch. The same applies for
|
||||
host pages shown in local time but data is recorded in UTC.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to a thread issue ntpa(1) sometimes make a SEG FAULT upon start up.
|
||||
This apparently happens if too many graph are drawn at the same time.
