You know maybe even a check source, check NMS and check device would be
good...

Hmm...

Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Time Check


I wrote a service test for SNTP, see
http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/WG-20010131-DM01.htm .  I have Stratum 1
clocks, and Unix machines running Stratum 2.

I have seen WUG show the service down on the Stratum 2 clocks, and when
we've looked on the machine log we've seen the daemon complain about not
getting to the Stratum 1 and it lost sync.

It isn't a comparison.  What I rely on is the fact that the NTP (or SNTP in
this service test) will refuse to identify itself as a source if it thinks
it doesn't know
the time.  This test isn't a simple "the port responds", but is looking to
see if thinks it is a time source.

I ran this on Lantronix Stratum 1 clocks, but it would get a couple of
failures per day.  I eventually got a mib for that clock and use that.
For the Truetime Stratum 1, I again went with the mib for the clock.
