This has sorta mutated to a data format discussion. ntpviz added a summary csv file in the last week. It has column titles in the first line. I was unaware of RFC 4180, and it mandates CRLF as line ending, not the \n that I used. I just pushed a fix to this. Someone familiar with RFC4180 should check the format is correct. I chose CSV over JSON because the data is simple 2D and most people will just import the summary.csv file into Libreoffice, or similar, directly from their browser. CSV files are trivial to import, but Libreoffice has no obvious way to directly import JSON. Here is a link to a current summary file: https://rellim.com/ntpstats/day/summary.csv RGDS GARY --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary E.
