Package: nagios-plugins Version: 1.4.2-5 Severity: normal Situation: retrieving ntp information of "ntp clients". This is done with ntpdate. I get this error message:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -v -H myntpclient -w 3 -c 10 ntperr = 0 ntperr = 0 myntpclient: timed out, nothing received Use of uninitialized value in division (/) at /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp line 423. NTP CRITICAL: Offset -37.599848 sec > +/- 10 sec|offset=-37.599848, jitter=0,peer_stratum=14 It seems, that ntpdate cannot get the jitter information, but the output calculate with $jitter. I think, this patch fix this bug: diff -u /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp.SAVE2 /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp --- /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp.SAVE2 2006-04-04 17:31:04.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp 2006-04-04 17:33:12.000000000 +0200 @@ -420,7 +420,7 @@ foreach my $key (keys %ERRORS) { if ($state==$ERRORS{$key}) { # print ("NTP $key: $answer"); - print ("NTP $key: $answer|offset=$offset, jitter=" . $jitter/1000 .
