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.
