Well red is the most severe, and indicates that your server was unavailable for whatever reason (or has an offset of several seconds), which is why there is missing data on the "Offset history" graph. Blue is the least severe, and typically means your server has an offset of ~100ms or so. Points are deducted based on how far off your server is. Less than 100ms, no deductions. Server unavailable or off by several seconds, the most deductions. If you view the CSV log, it's clear your server was "available", but was reporting a time that was off quite a bit by ntp standards. The large offset swings could indicate that your connection was heavily loaded during that time frame. -- Dennis Hilberg, Jr. \ timekeeper(at)dennishilberg(dot)com NTP Server Information: \ http://saturn.dennishilberg.com/ntp.php _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
