Hi everyone, I’ve been working on making most of the NTP Pool server components run under Kubernetes to make it easier to manage and continue to extend (for a particular flavor of “easier”, of course). The beta system is running on [https://web.beta.grundclock.com/](https://web.beta.grundclock.com/) (separate NTP Pool database, but same login system and login accounts as the regular site). I have a bunch of upcoming changes to improve the monitoring system – better availability of long-term monitoring data and better support for multiple monitoring servers. It’s helpful to me to have more servers registered in the beta system, so please consider adding your server at [https://manage-beta.grundclock.com/manage](https://manage-beta.grundclock.com/manage)🙂 ---

I add some stratum 2 server but there is no statistics available. So I believe it will start later if you ave more stations. // Hans ---

I see that there are monitoring stations in LA, Hollywood and LU. What are their IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes so that I can note them in my logs, please? ---

Is beta monitoring currently running? Should it be? [https://web.beta.grundclock.com/user/mnordhoff](https://web.beta.grundclock.com/user/mnordhoff) shows, uh, not much activity. ---

Whoops. I made the beta site “TLS-only” but didn’t fix the monitoring client to load the CA-roots to validate the certificate. I will fix it Monday evening. ---

Hi Ask, there are still no data. [https://web.beta.grundclock.com/user/6476i5cd3footcjg3hpo](https://web.beta.grundclock.com/user/6476i5cd3footcjg3hpo) Kind regards Hans ---

The deployment of the monitor code didn’t like that the site forced TLS. The easy fix for that meant some changes that could impact the production site, too, so instead I rewrote the monitor in Go. This will allow it to more easily also do traceroutes and do more checks per hour, so hopefully it’ll be worth a few days of no monitoring on the beta site. 🙂 It’s running on the same server as the production monitor, so I’m interested in any difference in the monitoring results between the monitoring on the production site and the beta site. ---

Hey guys, I think it would be helpful to have more NTP servers from around the world on the beta site to test the monitoring changes. For example, there are only 5 IPv4 and 5 IPv6 servers (presumably the same servers) in the entire Asia beta zone. So please add your servers to the beta pool to give Ask some more testing data. I have all my 4 NTP servers (all dual-stack) there already. ---

The previous login system provided a unique username, so it used to be that. The new login system just uses email addresses, and I don’t want to use those for obvious reasons. There really should be a way to edit the username or better to edit a “what to be called” field on the site (name, organization name, pseudonym, …) and then use something random looking for the URLs. It’s somewhere on the todo. ---

[http://www.pool.ntp.org/scores/173.255.246.13](http://www.pool.ntp.org/scores/173.255.246.13) and [https://web.beta.grundclock.com/scores/173.255.246.13](https://web.beta.grundclock.com/scores/173.255.246.13) look a bit different, even after taking into account that the time scales are different. Here are some screen captures for posterity (production and beta, respectively): ![ntpprod](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/ntppool/original/1X/05ee8625b3ce744ed55389d15cca961c4061211b.png) ![ntpbeta](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/ntppool/original/1X/95eec6b07815a266c090eba142704600fe8e4e7b.png) This server is hosted at Linode and they claim that the reason for the dropped packets is that I sometimes exceed 30000 outbound packets per second on that server. I’m not quite sure if that’s true, but I’m investigating further. My other NTP servers are doing fine. ---

Hi Ask, I just extended the deletion date of my server (89.101.218.6 - Ireland) to April 2018 - I’m curious what provider the site in Luxembourg is on. I’m still with Virgin Media business fibre and seeing a consistent score of -5 with this LU site. The US scores are horrible and have been for about 1 year now. Never did get to the bottom of the monitoring issue. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/ntppool/original/1X/4b6d045f93c7f5ee7893452d24638b3bcde64078.png) ---

The Luxembourg and Hollywood monitors aren’t running. The system needs a feature to mark the monitors as inactive (and not show them unless there’s data from that monitor on the chart?). ---

Not possible to add servers to [https://manage-beta.grundclock.com/](https://manage-beta.grundclock.com/), it just says “Could not check NTP status” when I try to add them. ---

What was the IP? (Send it privately if more appropriate). The only errors I see in the logs were for an IP that timed out on the NTP request (and it looks like that bubbles up to the web UI weirdly). ---
