I’m considering running the ntppool-agent monitor on the same host as my pool server (smolnut - stratum 1 GPS PPS). Before I do, I wanted to check whether this causes any issues.
My concern: if the monitor probes pool servers and my own server’s IP is in the rotation, it would be probing itself over the local network rather than from a real external perspective, potentially reporting artificially good results.
Does the monitoring system automatically exclude a monitor from probing servers registered to the same IP? Or is it better to run the monitor on a separate host?
