I would have liked to have this some years ago, because the LXI
specification requires that the clock state appears on the the "Sync
Configuration" web page:

https://www.lxistandard.org/members/Adopted%20Specifications/Latest%20Version%20of%20Standards_/LXI%20Standard%201.5%20Specifications/LXI%20Device%20Specification%20v1_5_01.pdf?page=50

At the time, we had our own in-house implementation of ptp, and I
think I wrote out state changes to a fifo or a file or something.  But
I also remember adding some vendor specific management messages.  The
memory fades....

Oh, and here is the LXI 1588 profile if you are interested:
