Hello Lyle,<br>
<br>
if the target system has a webserver running, you can use this
plugin (bash script) of mine.<br>
<br>
usage: ./check_time_deviation_via_http.sh <url>
<repetitions> <warning threshold> <critical
threshold><br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
cray@denkbrett:~$ ./check_time_deviation_via_http.sh
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.nagios.com">"http://www.nagios.com"</a> 4 2 10; echo $?<br>
OK: time deviation 0 is within the range of 2
seconds|time_deviation=0<br>
0<br>
<br>
cray@denkbrett:~$ ./check_time_deviation_via_http.sh
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.winnetou.com">"http://www.winnetou.com"</a> 4 2 10; echo $?<br>
CRITICAL: time deviation 28730 is more than 10 seconds
off|time_deviation=28730<br>
2<br>
<br>
(Proof that Winnetou is still ahead of his time)<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

how to confirm that time is within limits on Windows
server?<br>
</font> </div>
<br>
<div id="yiv787134394">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="font: inherit;" valign="top">We've been
bitten badly recently with time being way off on
Windows 2003 & 2008 servers. I was checking
that the ntp client service was running, which it
was, but the actual time on the server was way
off.<br>
<br>
How can I check that the actual time is within
tolerance compared to either the Domain Controller
or the Nagios server?<br>
<br>
We've given up on running the Windows NTP client,
and now run the Windows Time service against the
Domain Controllers.<br>
<br>
I looked at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
target="_blank" href="http://check_daytime.pl">check_daytime.pl</a>
on the Nagios server side, but it doesn't look
like we're about to install Simple TCP/IP Service
for security and other reasons.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any advice....Lyle Ryan <br>
