Public bug reported:
Lots of reference reading:
- http://serverfault.com/questions/625027/nagios-check-ntp-time-offset-unknown
- http://serverfault.com/questions/269701/nagios-ntp-discarding-peer
- http://sourceforge.net/p/nagiosplug/mailman/message/24582375/
Using this check on more than a hundred servers configured similarly, the check
fails like so on just a few nodes (<5):
sending request to peer 0
response from peer 0: offset -0.08336162567
sending request to peer 0
response from peer 0: offset -0.08346772194
sending request to peer 0
response from peer 0: offset -0.08303678036
sending request to peer 0
response from peer 0: offset -0.08342885971
discarding peer 0: stratum=0
overall average offset: 0
NTP CRITICAL: Offset unknown|
