To get the data remotely just add the remote hostname to the ntpq command rdeal at rdeal-lx % ntpq -c "rv 0 offset" ranger assID=0 status=06a4 leap_none, sync_ntp, 10 events, event_peer/strat_chg, offset=0.752

also to compensate for the output requirement I am using: #!/bin/sh

$BB $BBDISP "data $MACHINE.ntpstat

ntpq -c \"rv 0 offset\" | awk 'BEGIN {FS = \"=\"} $1 != \"offset\" {print;} $1 == \"offset\" {print \"Offset: \", $2}' "

exit 0

probably a cleaner way to make the change but this is the first thing that came to mind ;)

Any chance of getting the ntpstat script

It's basically this:

#!/bin/sh

$BB $BBDISP "data $MACHINE.ntpstat

ntpq -c \"rv 0 offset\" "

exit 0

Now, this won't work with the 4.0.3 ntpstat handler because I started out with an existing script that did some formatting of the output. But from 4.0.4 the "ntpq -c rv" output will be handled directly by Hobbit and generate your ntpstat graph.

or having hobbit generate the ntpstat data with the built in ntp test?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you cannot get the ntpstat data remotely.

I have added this entry for the sendmail monitoring:

Thanks, added.
