What are the pre-requisites of enabling NTP time sync Monitoring for LINUX servers ..Whether any root password is required to push the application.
There is a NTP template out of the box that you can use called "Server Clock Drift (Perl)"
There are 2 component monitors in it but it sounds like you're only after the second one, so you can disable the first.
The prerequisites are to have perl available and the ntp package installed. The NTP command is typically located in /sbin/ntpdate.
In the screenshot below there are 2 arguments being passed into the script.
1. location of the ntpdate command
2. remote NTP server to connect to.
You might not have to change anything unless the ntpdate command is located elsewhere of if you wanted to use your own NTP server.
Assign the template to a linux server and specific what credentials are needed to connect to it. If you are using SSH, any SSH creds should work. If you're leveraging the agent then you should be good.
I have installed SAM manually ,now if i want to push clock drift means whether we need to give root user and password while pushing ?And what all the parameters we can monitor ?
