ntppool-monitor process is still running

restarting the services → ‘active’ temporary and becomes ‘Last seen’ very soon

any ideas?

Have you ever updated the monitor via apt?

Look in the monitor-page, does it state this: Agent version: v3.0.2-69

If it’s older, you might want to upgrade it.

Yep latest version and I even used a fresh pair of API keys, but I’m “gone” again.

Everything seems so work well, but it is odd.

4

What’s the status of the ntpd peers or chrony sources? When the monitor runs it tries some “well known” servers and if too many of those have a too large offset the monitor basically waits and doesn’t do any work until it’s better. From the log you posted it looks like that might be happening.

ntp peer… like none.

Chrony is my server, but using htpdate as the ‘ntp client’. Accuracy will be around 10 to 15ms… that explains the ‘gone’. Should I retract from this beta?
