Hi,

I have developed a python script that monitors NTP traffic using TCPdump and thereby generates statistics.  
It’s very usefull for administrators running NTP servers.  
It’s on github here: [https://github.com/HyperDevil/ntp-python-stats](https://github.com/HyperDevil/ntp-python-stats)

Its quite simple, the endpoint for the anonymized statistics is in Prometheus, or you can change it to suit any other endpoint.
