The NTP configuration file is copied over during a reboot

Post by ccasho »

On the Nagios-VM, our /etc/ntp.conf file is written over after every reboot. We'd like to understand where this file is copied from so that we can set our server statements correctly and have the NTP daemon start on a reboot/power up.

I wasn't able to replicate this. Any modifications I made to the ntp.conf file were still there after a reboot.

Is it possible that you have something in your environment like ansible or puppet that might be unexpectedly managing your ntp.conf file?

The out-of-the-box behaviour of Nagios does not do anything with that file once it's been configured.

Hope that helps.
