Well, as I mentioned, there is a valid use case for running chronyc on another system than where
chronyd is running, e.g. when you are using chronyd at several places in your network and you
want to monitor their behavior on one system, e.g. using nagios or zabbix.
When you want to use chronyc to monitor a local chronyd, your system has to be capable of running
that service (daemon), and apparently your solution (which I am not familiar with) is not.
So you need to use another solution. Something that can run services. That is also required because
chronyc essentially is one-shot, and any useful monitoring of NTP has to be running for a while
to average the polls done to other servers.
