After upgading from 15.1M to 15.2M, I noticed the NTP response format has changed. Is this normal? Specifically, the following lines (reference timestamp, originator timestamp) are no longer present.
Reference Timestamp: 1953852733.195985823 (2098/01/06 02:20:29)
Originator Timestamp: 1717990245.454058468 (2090/07/17 04:59:01) Reference Timestamp: 1953852733.195985823 (2098/01/06 02:20:29)
Originator Timestamp: 1717990245.454058468 (2090/07/17 04:59:01)
I am using the nagios plugin check_ntp_peer plugin to monitor NTP on all my routers and this information is necessary to verify it has an appropriate and valid timesync to an upstream source.
For those with the nagios plugins, you can run the following to reproduce: "/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_ntp_peer -H 1.1.1.1 -vvv" and it will respond erorr "
Server responded: >>>stratum=2, offset=, jitter= <<< parsing offset from peer d7c0: error: unable to read server offset response. NTP CRITICAL: Offset unknown|
" on 15.2M routers, but work fine on 15.1M routers.
