[Nagiosplug-devel] [PATCH] Let check_ntp_peer check the number of truechimers

Holger Weiß holger at CIS.FU-Berlin.DE
Mon Mar 15 01:50:30 CET 2010


This patch adds support for checking the number of usable time sources¹
to the check_ntp_peer plugin.  The new "-m" and "-n" options allow for
specifying the according WARNING and CRITICAL thresholds (and thereby
activating the truechimers check), respectively.

¹ That is, the number of peers which are classified as "truechimers" by
  NTP's intersection algorithm.

If nobody objects, I'll commit this patch in a few days.
