I've a Linux server where I can get the delay and offset values for a certain peer using the ntpq
command:
$ ntpq -nc peers
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
*162.102.197.46 10.114.18.251 2 u 117 1024 377 0.718 0.360 0.526
I'm using these values in a monitoring script. I also want to take the same values for a NTP peer to which my Windows system is polling, and collate them in my script.
I tried several options for w32tm
service, but none is giving me the delay
and offset
values.
I went through these Microsoft Docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/get-started/windows-time-service/windows-time-service-tools-and-settings
and found that we can use w32tm
with /stripchart
and [/rdtsc]
option to get these values. But I am not exactly sure how to build the command with the options. I tried several combinations and all give error:
w32tm /stripchart /rdtsc
Required parameter 'computer' missing.
The following error occurred: The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057)
Can someone help me with the exact command?
I believe I found one way of doing it:
w32tm /stripchart /computer:hostname.domain /samples:3
The above command give 3 sample values, from which we can take a mean.
where computer:hostname.domain is the peer name (The NTP server that your WIndows system is currently polling) that you find from this command:
w32tm /query /peers
