I'm trying to fill out the MIB for ntpsnmpd and have several items that
I do not know how to get data for. This also effects ntpq as so far my
primary method of discovering what to poke mode 6 with to get what I
need has been to see how ntpq does it. A side effect of ntpsnmpd will
probably be to expand ntpq's capabilities, or even mode 6's.
Time Resolution (as distinct from time *precision*, which I can get from
the "precision" variable).
Time distance: From the MIB: "The distance from this NTP entity to the
root time reference (stratum 0) source". The closest thing I can find
that sounds like match is the synchd() method in packet.py/SyncPacket.
It is only used by ntpdig.
Current mode: There is a "peermode" variable, but I don't think it is
giving the information that the MIB wants. "hostmode" or "hmode" do not
exist.
Active reference source ID: pretty sure this means which one is the
syspeer. I can get the address with "peeradr", but not the associd. This
could be brute forced by getting all of the peers and finding the right
one....
Uptime: well there is an uptime variable. But I do not know the format
(it *looks* like seconds since start), and the MIB wants a very specific
and unusual format.
Date of next leap second: from what I can gather from the 2-bit leap
second code this is predicted a day in advance?
Next leap second direction: so long as the 2-bit code is a usable source
this is a simple one.
Heartbeat interval.
