NAME

ntpa - NTP Analyzer daemon program

SYNOPSIS

ntpa --config file [--temp path] [--writepid file] [--daemon name]

DESCRIPTION

The ntpa daemon is the core process in the NTP Analyzer system. ntpa(1) is responsible for collecting data from NTP daemons. Data are collected using ntpq(8) and ntpctl(8). The ntpa daemon also generates graphs and web pages and perform other tasks like sending status mails.

The graphs and HTML files generated by ntpa are placed in the ntpa www directory and can be presented by any web server. Additional JavaScript and CSS files are also located in the ntpa www directory.

Pages can be made responsive by configuring them with Bootstrap and jQuery. This way they are viewable on mobile devices and not only on traditional PC screens.

OPTIONS

ntpa can be started with the following options:

--config file: Mandatory configuration file.
--temp path: Specifies the working directory. Default is /tmp
--writepid file: Specifies where the pid file should be written.
