Package: munin-plugins-core Version: 2.0.49-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Recent changes to bullseye and buster-backports systemd packages that
split systemd-timesyncd to depend on alternatives like ntpsec (among
others, but not classic ntpd) nudged me to upgrade from classic ntpd to
ntpsec on a couple servers. These servers have munin-node monitoring
their ntp daemons. After the move from classic ntpd to ntpsec caused
the following plugins to begin failing:
* ntp_kernel_err
* ntp_kernel_pll_freq
* ntp_kernel_pll_off
Each of these are shell scripts that perform a version check on the ntpq
binary, then fallback on ntpdc binary if the version isn't new enough.
However with the ntpsec package, two problems arise:
* ntpsec's ntpq command returns a version string that's "younger" than
NTP classic's.
+ ntpsec: ntpsec-1.1.3 2019-11-18T06:04:00Z
+ ntpd: ntpq 4.2.8p12@1.3728-o (1)
* ntpsec doesn't include the ntpdc binary and fallback fails.
+ /etc/munin/plugins/ntp_kernel_err: ntpdc: not found
The line of shell script in question is:
if [ "$(ntpq -c version | grep --extended-regexp --only-matching
'[[:digit:]]\.[[:digit:]]\.[[:digit:]]' | tr -d '.')" -ge 427 ]
then
ntpq -c kerninfo | awk '/^estimated error:/ { print $3 / 1000 }'
else
ntpdc -c kerninfo | awk '/^estimated error:/ { print $3 }'
fi
I believe changing these to support ntpsec will be trivial. Patch to
follow ;-)
