Install Dependencies
--------------------

FreeBSD
-------

Run as root:
# pkg install mono
# pkg install gtk-sharp20
# pkg install libgdiplus
# pkg install mysql-server

Ubuntu
------

Run:
# sudo apt-get install mono-runtime
# sudo apt-get install libgdiplus 
# sudo apt-get install mysql-server
# sudo apt-get install ntp

Windows
-------

Download a copy of ntpq and ntpdc. Make sure .NET is installed and
the required MySQL Server is accessible. Download and install MySQL
if needed.


Install NTP Analyzer
--------------------

Build the solution with:
# xbuild Ntp.Analyzer.sln

Copy the output in bin folder to /opt/ntpa or another suitable location.
Add the bin folders to path variable or make symlinks in /usr/local/sbin etc.


Configure ntpa
--------------

Copy ntpa.stat.conf from example to /etc/ntpa.conf
In ntpa.conf Hostname must point to a name or IP reachable by ntpq.
ConfigFile must must point to ntp.conf.
Adjust the values of HostName and ConfigFile settings accordingly.

Validate ntpa.conf file with ntpav using:
# ntpav /etc/ntpa.conf

Copy ntp.conf from NTP host to the machine running ntpa and then add
timeserver ID from support.ntp.org. Search using google.com with f.x.
"ntp1.innolan.net" site:support.ntp.org
For servers not registered on support.ntp.org just add 10000 and above.

See ntp.conf in example on how to add time server IDs.

Configure database
------------------

Now adjust create_data.sql with real values. For host rows:
name is name used to query with ntpdc. Must match name/ip in ntpa.conf
ip is IP address as shown in generated web pages
orgId is ID from support.ntp.org. Use 10000 or above for non registered servers

For peer rows:
name is name shown in generated web pages
ip is IP address as received from ntpq -pn
orgId is ID from support.ntp.org. Use 10000 or above for non registered servers

Run:
# mysql < run create_tables.sql
# mysql < run create_data.sql


Start NTP Analyzer
------------------

Now start ntpa and watch the data arriving in MySQL tables.
# mono ntpa.exe

Also watch the logfile for errors and other debugging activities.

Now start ntpa in daemon mode with:
# mono ntpa.exe &

To stop ntpa use kill. Find ntpa pid in log file.
# kill 77342

GTK GUI
Run Ntp.Analyzer.Gui.exe and connect to ntpa with the a port specified
in the listener section.

Connect to ntpa and get a list of available commands:
# ntpac 127.0.0.1 9070 help

Ask ntpa how long time it has been running:
# ntpac 127.0.0.1 9070 uptime
