timesyncd monitoring #1589
Comments
We generate some output on LOG_DEBUG level. But I figure we could expose this on the bus, too. Happy to take a patcj. |
IMHO commit 7b5b3fc should be reverted. The INFO logging level was sufficient for that one line. Making it log_debug() it is now logged at the same level as log_debug() at line 632 above that, which only repeats that info but much more verbose. So in other words, log_debug() for that verbose status log, and log_info() for occasional one-liner about delay, drift, offset, ... Having offset logged like it was before is a great way to track precision and wasn't chatty at all, it logs once or twice PER HOUR, at least looking at our Debian Jessie logs, systemd 219. |
We are currently testing timesyncd as NTP client on our machines. One thing I noticed is that timedatectl doesn't provide any output about offsets and jitter, how I was used to when using ntpd. It provides us with a way to write monitoring scripts for time drift in our network.
Is there any hidden functionality, which isn't mentioned in the manpage yet, which we could make use of or can you plan a feature for that?
