Hi, we were looking for SNMP monitoring for chrony, and to my knowledge chrony does not provide that functionality. Or am I wrong?
We use central SNMP monitoring for our computers, and we get a lot of information about operating system statuses via SNMP. However, ntp detailed information is not available, and it would be very beneficial to have that information accessible via SNMP. There is already a standard MIB (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5907) for ntp monitoring. I propose to make an agentX or subagent for snmpd in chrony, which would report ntp status via snmpd using a provided MIB. More information about subagents can be found here https://net-snmp.sourceforge.io/wiki/index.php/TUT:Writing_a_Subagent I am willing to contribute the code, but I am unfamiliar with chrony source. Is there an interest or will to incorporate the SNMP monitoring into chrony or not? ntpd seems to have ntpsnmpd, but it looks more like an unfinished task. https://github.com/benegon/ntp/tree/master/ntpsnmpd Regards Marko
