By default once the statsdir statement in ntp.conf is enabled, only daily log files will be created. # Enable this if you want statistics to be logged. statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/ statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable To have ntp stats file sets be generated on weekly, monthly and yearly intervals that would have to specified in ntp.conf. Monitoring Commandsfilegen *name* file *filename* [type *type*] [link | nolink] [enable | disable]*name*Specifies the file set type from the list in the next section.file *filename*Specfies the file set name.type *typename *Specifies the file set interval. The following intervals are supported with default day:noneThe file set is actually a single plain file.pidOne file set member is created for every incarnation of ntpd. The file name suffix is the string .n, where n is the process ID of the ntpd server process.dayOne file set member is created per day. A day is defined as the period between 00:00 and 23:59 UTC. The file name suffix is the string . yyyymmdd, where yyyy is the year, mm the month of the year and dd the day of the month. Thus, member created on 10 December 1992 would have suffix .19921210.weekOne file set member is created per week. The week is defined as the day of year modulo 7. The file name suffix is the string .yyyyWww, where yyyy is the year, W stands for itself and ww the week number starting from 0. For example, The member created on 10 January 1992 would have suffix .1992W1.monthOne file set member is created per month. The file name suffix is the string .yyyymm, where yyyy is the year and mm the month of the year starting from 1. For example, The member created on 10 January 1992 would have suffix .199201.yearOne file set member is generated per year. The file name suffix is the string .yyyy, where yyyy is the year. For example, The member created on 1 January 1992 would have suffix .1992.ageOne file set member is generated every 24 hours of ntpd operation. The filename suffix is the string .adddddddd, where a stands for itself and dddddddd is the ntpd running time in seconds at the start of the corresponding 24-hour period. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
