Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

We have a new time server that now uses Chrony vs NTP, so the check_ntp_peer no longer works. Is anyone aware of a chronyc version of that script? We are just looking to confirm that a primary source is set and the offset.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @shoreypu,

It doesn't look like there is a chrony version in Nagios official plugins but when I search "check_chrony" in my browser I get a couple of options. Hopefully one of those might work for you.

You might be able to adapt something pretty quickly using chronyc tracking or chronyc sources in a custom script.
For example, chronyc tracking will give you the current offset, and chronyc sources -v shows whether you’re synced to a primary source. Parsing those outputs with awk/grep could give you the same checks check_ntp_peer did.

If you haven't solved this yet, but you'd like to take a crack at making your own script into a plugin, I suggest taking a look at this article.

I hope that helps!
