[chrony-dev] timex kernel offset parameter not updated

[Filip Verwee <fverwee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear,

 

On our cluster nodes we use node-exporter to collect the timex information from the kernel. The advantage of using the node-exporter timex collector is that it is independent of the NTP implementation used on the nodes (ntpd, chrony…). Unfortunately, it looks like chrony is not updating the timex kernel offset parameter. Its value is always ‘0’ while on nodes using ntpd, the timex kernel offset parameter represents the time offset in between local system and reference clock.

This seems like a shortcoming in chrony. Are there any plans to implement this functionality in the near future?

 

Regards,

Filip Verwee.
