Hi there,
I'm planning to use solarwinds to monitor the time of the network devices and ntp server. I setup ntp server on a windows server, and all network devices sync time from it. I would like to monitor if the ntp server is accurate as well as all switches and routers. Since i haven't been working on it before, I would like to obtain your expertise and I also did some research by myself first.
This is what I'm planning to do:
1. For windows server, Monitor NTP. Will the NTP server be external source and node will be our ntp server? I also don't see the optiones of Clock Drift (Internet Time Service) or Clock Drift (NTP).
2. For cisco devices, I'm thinking to use universal device poller with NTP Best Practice. Which objects should I use from Cisco NTP MIB?
Is there any better and easy to do it? Thank you!!
