<h3 class="section">Description</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>ntpq</code> utility program is used to monitor NTP daemon <code>ntpd</code> operations and determine performance.
|
|
It uses the standard NTP mode 6 control message formats defined in
|
|
Appendix B of the NTPv3 specification RFC1305.
|
|
The same formats are used in NTPv4, although some of the variable names have changed and new ones added.
|
|
The description on this page is for the NTPv4 variables.
|
|
|
|
<p>The program can be run either in interactive mode or controlled using command line arguments. Requests to read and write arbitrary variables can be assembled, with raw and pretty-printed output options being available. The <code>ntpq</code> can also obtain and print a list of peers in a common format by sending multiple queries to the server.
|
|
|
|
<p>If one or more request options is included on the command line when <code>ntpq</code> is executed, each of the requests will be sent to the NTP servers running on each of the hosts given as command line arguments, or on localhost by default. If no request options are given, <code>ntpq</code> will attempt to read commands from the standard input and execute these on the NTP server running on the first host given on the command line, again defaulting to localhost when no other host is specified. <code>ntpq</code> will prompt for commands if the standard input is a terminal device.
|
|
|
|
<p><code>ntpq</code> uses NTP mode 6 packets to communicate with the NTP server, and hence can be used to query any compatible server on the network which permits it. Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol this communication will be somewhat unreliable, especially over large distances in terms of network topology. <code>ntpq</code> makes one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout time.
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that in contexts where a host name is expected, a <code>-4</code> qualifier preceding the host name forces DNS resolution to the IPv4 namespace, while a <code>-6</code> qualifier forces DNS resolution to the IPv6 namespace.
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>The
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
utility program is used to query NTP servers which
|
|
implement the standard NTP mode 6 control message formats defined
|
|
in Appendix B of the NTPv3 specification RFC1305, requesting
|
|
information about current state and/or changes in that state.
|
|
The same formats are used in NTPv4, although some of the
|
|
variables have changed and new ones added. The description on this
|
|
page is for the NTPv4 variables.
|
|
The program may be run either in interactive mode or controlled using
|
|
command line arguments.
|
|
Requests to read and write arbitrary
|
|
variables can be assembled, with raw and pretty-printed output
|
|
options being available.
|
|
The
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
utility can also obtain and print a
|
|
list of peers in a common format by sending multiple queries to the
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
<p>If one or more request options is included on the command line
|
|
when
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
is executed, each of the requests will be sent
|
|
to the NTP servers running on each of the hosts given as command
|
|
line arguments, or on localhost by default.
|
|
If no request options
|
|
are given,
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
will attempt to read commands from the
|
|
standard input and execute these on the NTP server running on the
|
|
first host given on the command line, again defaulting to localhost
|
|
when no other host is specified.
|
|
The
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
utility will prompt for
|
|
commands if the standard input is a terminal device.
|
|
|
|
<p><code>ntpq</code>
|
|
uses NTP mode 6 packets to communicate with the
|
|
NTP server, and hence can be used to query any compatible server on
|
|
the network which permits it.
|
|
Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol
|
|
this communication will be somewhat unreliable, especially over
|
|
large distances in terms of network topology.
|
|
The
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
utility makes
|
|
one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if
|
|
the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
<p>Specifying a
|
|
command line option other than
|
|
<code>-i</code>
|
|
or
|
|
<code>-n</code>
|
|
will
|
|
cause the specified query (queries) to be sent to the indicated
|
|
host(s) immediately.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
will attempt to read
|
|
interactive format commands from the standard input.
|
|
|
|
<h5 class="subsubsection">Internal Commands</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>Interactive format commands consist of a keyword followed by zero
|
|
to four arguments.
|
|
Only enough characters of the full keyword to
|
|
uniquely identify the command need be typed.
|
|
|
|
<p>A
|
|
number of interactive format commands are executed entirely within
|
|
the
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
utility itself and do not result in NTP mode 6
|
|
requests being sent to a server.
|
|
These are described following.
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>?</code> <code>[</code><kbd>command_keyword</kbd><code>]</code><br><dt><code>help</code> <code>[</code><kbd>command_keyword</kbd><code>]</code><dd>A
|
|
?
|
|
by itself will print a list of all the command
|
|
keywords known to this incarnation of
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
A
|
|
?
|
|
followed by a command keyword will print function and usage
|
|
information about the command.
|
|
This command is probably a better
|
|
source of information about
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
than this manual
|
|
page.
|
|
<br><dt><code>addvars</code> <kbd>variable_name</kbd><code>[=value]</code> <code>...</code><br><dt><code>rmvars</code> <kbd>variable_name</kbd> <code>...</code><br><dt><code>clearvars</code><br><dt><code>showvars</code><dd>The data carried by NTP mode 6 messages consists of a list of
|
|
items of the form
|
|
variable_name=value,
|
|
where the
|
|
=value
|
|
is ignored, and can be omitted,
|
|
in requests to the server to read variables.
|
|
The
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
utility maintains an internal list in which data to be included in control
|
|
messages can be assembled, and sent using the
|
|
<code>readlist</code>
|
|
and
|
|
<code>writelist</code>
|
|
commands described below.
|
|
The
|
|
<code>addvars</code>
|
|
command allows variables and their optional values to be added to
|
|
the list.
|
|
If more than one variable is to be added, the list should
|
|
be comma-separated and not contain white space.
|
|
The
|
|
<code>rmvars</code>
|
|
command can be used to remove individual variables from the list,
|
|
while the
|
|
<code>clearlist</code>
|
|
command removes all variables from the
|
|
list.
|
|
The
|
|
<code>showvars</code>
|
|
command displays the current list of optional variables.
|
|
<br><dt><code>authenticate</code> <code>[yes | no]</code><dd>Normally
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
does not authenticate requests unless
|
|
they are write requests.
|
|
The command
|
|
authenticate yes
|
|
causes
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
to send authentication with all requests it
|
|
makes.
|
|
Authenticated requests causes some servers to handle
|
|
requests slightly differently, and can occasionally melt the CPU in
|
|
fuzzballs if you turn authentication on before doing a
|
|
<code>peer</code>
|
|
display.
|
|
The command
|
|
authenticate
|
|
causes
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
to display whether or not
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
is currently autheinticating requests.
|
|
<br><dt><code>cooked</code><dd>Causes output from query commands to be "cooked", so that
|
|
variables which are recognized by
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
will have their
|
|
values reformatted for human consumption.
|
|
Variables which
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
thinks should have a decodable value but didn't are
|
|
marked with a trailing
|
|
?.
|
|
<br><dt><code>debug</code> <code>[more | less | off]</code><dd>With no argument, displays the current debug level.
|
|
Otherwise, the debug level is changed to the indicated level.
|
|
<br><dt><code>delay</code> <kbd>milliseconds</kbd><dd>Specify a time interval to be added to timestamps included in
|
|
requests which require authentication.
|
|
This is used to enable
|
|
(unreliable) server reconfiguration over long delay network paths
|
|
or between machines whose clocks are unsynchronized.
|
|
Actually the
|
|
server does not now require timestamps in authenticated requests,
|
|
so this command may be obsolete.
|
|
<br><dt><code>exit</code><dd>Exit
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
<br><dt><code>host</code> <kbd>hostname</kbd><dd>Set the host to which future queries will be sent.
|
|
<kbd>hostname</kbd>
|
|
may be either a host name or a numeric address.
|
|
<br><dt><code>hostnames</code> <code>[yes | no]</code><dd>If
|
|
<code>yes</code>
|
|
is specified, host names are printed in
|
|
information displays.
|
|
If
|
|
<code>no</code>
|
|
is specified, numeric
|
|
addresses are printed instead.
|
|
The default is
|
|
<code>yes</code>,
|
|
unless
|
|
modified using the command line
|
|
<code>-n</code>
|
|
switch.
|
|
<br><dt><code>keyid</code> <kbd>keyid</kbd><dd>This command allows the specification of a key number to be
|
|
used to authenticate configuration requests.
|
|
This must correspond
|
|
to the
|
|
<code>controlkey</code>
|
|
key number the server has been configured to use for this
|
|
purpose.
|
|
<br><dt><code>keytype</code> <code>[md5 | OpenSSLDigestType]</code><dd>Specify the type of key to use for authenticating requests.
|
|
<code>md5</code>
|
|
is alway supported.
|
|
If
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
was built with OpenSSL support,
|
|
any digest type supported by OpenSSL can also be provided.
|
|
If no argument is given, the current
|
|
<code>keytype</code>
|
|
is displayed.
|
|
<br><dt><code>ntpversion</code> <code>[1 | 2 | 3 | 4]</code><dd>Sets the NTP version number which
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
claims in
|
|
packets.
|
|
Defaults to 3, and note that mode 6 control messages (and
|
|
modes, for that matter) didn't exist in NTP version 1.
|
|
There appear
|
|
to be no servers left which demand version 1.
|
|
With no argument, displays the current NTP version that will be used
|
|
when communicating with servers.
|
|
<br><dt><code>passwd</code><dd>This command prompts you to type in a password (which will not
|
|
be echoed) which will be used to authenticate configuration
|
|
requests.
|
|
The password must correspond to the key configured for
|
|
use by the NTP server for this purpose if such requests are to be
|
|
successful.
|
|
<code>poll</code>
|
|
<kbd>n</kbd>
|
|
<code>verbose</code>
|
|
<br><dt><code>quit</code><dd>Exit
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
<br><dt><code>raw</code><dd>Causes all output from query commands is printed as received
|
|
from the remote server.
|
|
The only formating/interpretation done on
|
|
the data is to transform nonascii data into a printable (but barely
|
|
understandable) form.
|
|
<br><dt><code>timeout</code> <kbd>milliseconds</kbd><dd>Specify a timeout period for responses to server queries.
|
|
The
|
|
default is about 5000 milliseconds.
|
|
Note that since
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
retries each query once after a timeout, the total waiting time for
|
|
a timeout will be twice the timeout value set.
|
|
<br><dt><code>version</code><dd>Print the version of the
|
|
<code>ntpq</code>
|
|
program.
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<h5 class="subsubsection">Control Message Commands</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>Association IDs are used to identify system, peer and clock variables.
|
|
System variables are assigned an association ID of zero and system name space, while each association is assigned a nonzero association ID and peer namespace.
|
|
Most control commands send a single mode-6 message to the server and expect a single response message.
|
|
The exceptions are the
|
|
<code>peers</code>
|
|
command, which sends a series of messages,
|
|
and the
|
|
<code>mreadlist</code>
|
|
and
|
|
<code>mreadvar</code>
|
|
commands, which iterate over a range of associations.
|

<br><dt><code>:config</code> <code>[...]</code><dd>Send the remainder of the command line, including whitespace, to the server as a run-time configuration command in the same format as a line in the configuration file. This command is experimental until further notice and clarification. Authentication is of course required.
|
|
<br><dt><code>config-from-file</code> <kbd>filename</kbd><dd>Send the each line of

|
|
With the exception of
|
|
<code>sort</code>=<kbd>sortorder</kbd>,
|
|
the options filter the list returned by
|
|
<code>ntpd.</code>
|
|
The
|
|
<code>limited</code>
|
|
and
|
|
<code>kod</code>
|
|
options return only entries representing client addresses from which the last packet received triggered either discarding or a KoD response.
|
|
The
|
|
<code>mincount</code>=<kbd>count</kbd>
|
|
option filters entries representing less than
|
|
<kbd>count</kbd>
|
|
packets.
|
|
The
|
|
<code>laddr</code>=<kbd>localaddr</kbd>
|
|
option filters entries for packets received on any local address other than
|
|
<kbd>localaddr</kbd>.
|
|
<code>resany</code>=<kbd>hexmask</kbd>
|

<code>0x</code>.
|
|
The

|
<code>lstint</code>
|
|
and may be any of
|
|
<code>addr</code>,
|
|
<code>count</code>,
|
|
<code>avgint</code>,
|
|
<code>lstint</code>,
|
|
or any of those preceded by a minus sign (hyphen) to reverse the sort order.

<h5 class="subsubsection">Status Words and Kiss Codes</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>The current state of the operating program is shown
|
|
in a set of status words
|
|
maintained by the system.
|
|
Status information is also available on a per-association basis.
|
|
These words are displayed in the
|
|
<code>rv</code>
|
|
and
|
|
<code>as</code>
|
|
commands both in hexadecimal and in decoded short tip strings.
|
|
The codes, tips and short explanations are documented on the
|
|
.Lk decode.html "Event Messages and Status Words"
|
|
page.
|
|
The page also includes a list of system and peer messages,
|
|
the code for the latest of which is included in the status word.
|
|
|
|
<p>Information resulting from protocol machine state transitions
|
|
is displayed using an informal set of ASCII strings called
|
|
.Lk decode.html#kiss "kiss codes" .
|
|
The original purpose was for kiss-o'-death (KoD) packets
|
|
sent by the server to advise the client of an unusual condition.
|
|
They are now displayed, when appropriate,
|
|
in the reference identifier field in various billboards.
|
|
|
|
<h5 class="subsubsection">System Variables</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following system variables appear in the

The system jitter is defined in the NTPv4 specification;
|
|
the clock jitter statistic is computed by the clock discipline module.
|
|
|
|
<p>When the NTPv4 daemon is compiled with the OpenSSL software library,
|
|
additional system variables are displayed,
|
|
including some or all of the following,

variable is calculated when the first broadcast packet is received
|
|
after the calibration volley.
|
|
It represents the offset of the broadcast subgraph relative to the unicast subgraph.
|

This is the “always output status line with readvar” option.
|
|
By default, <code>ntpq</code> now suppresses the <code>associd=...</code>
|

line that precedes the output of <code>readvar</code>
|
|
(alias <code>rv</code>) when a single variable is requested, such as
|
|
<code>ntpq -c "rv 0 offset"</code>.
|
|
This option causes <code>ntpq</code> to include both lines of output
|
|
for a single-variable <code>readvar</code>.
|
|
Using an environment variable to
|
|
preset this option in a script will enable both older and
|
|
newer <code>ntpq</code> to behave identically in this regard.

<h4 class="subsection">presetting/configuring ntpq</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any option that is not marked as <i>not presettable</i> may be preset by
|
|
loading values from configuration ("rc" or "ini") files, and values from environment variables named <code>NTPQ</code> and <code>NTPQ_<OPTION_NAME></code>. <code><OPTION_NAME></code> must be one of
|
|
the options listed above in upper case and segmented with underscores.
|
|
The <code>NTPQ</code> variable will be tokenized and parsed like
|
|
the command line. The remaining variables are tested for existence and their
|
|
values are treated like option arguments.
|
|
|
|
<p class="noindent"><code>libopts</code> will search in 2 places for configuration files:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>$HOME
|
|
<li>$PWD
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The environment variables <code>HOME</code>, and <code>PWD</code>
|
|
are expanded and replaced when <span class="file">ntpq</span> runs.
|
|
For any of these that are plain files, they are simply processed.
|
|
For any that are directories, then a file named <span class="file">.ntprc</span> is searched for
|
|
within that directory and processed.
|
|
|
|
<p>Configuration files may be in a wide variety of formats.
|
|
The basic format is an option name followed by a value (argument) on the
|
|
same line. Values may be separated from the option name with a colon,
|
|
equal sign or simply white space. Values may be continued across multiple
|
|
lines by escaping the newline with a backslash.
|
|
|
|
<p>Multiple programs may also share the same initialization file.
|
|
Common options are collected at the top, followed by program specific
|
|
segments. The segments are separated by lines like:
|
|
<pre class="example"> [NTPQ]
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p class="noindent">or by
|
|
<pre class="example"> <?program ntpq>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p class="noindent">Do not mix these styles within one configuration file.
|
|
|
|
<p>Compound values and carefully constructed string values may also be
|
|
specified using XML syntax:
|
|
<pre class="example"> <option-name>
|
|
<sub-opt>...&lt;...&gt;...</sub-opt>
|
|
</option-name>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p class="noindent">yielding an <code>option-name.sub-opt</code> string value of
|
|
<pre class="example"> "...<...>..."
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p><code>AutoOpts</code> does not track suboptions. You simply note that it is a
|
|
hierarchicly valued option. <code>AutoOpts</code> does provide a means for searching
|
|
the associated name/value pair list (see: optionFindValue).
|
|
|
|
<p>The command line options relating to configuration and/or usage help are:
|
|
|
|
<h5 class="subsubheading">version (-)</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>Print the program version to standard out, optionally with licensing
|
|
information, then exit 0. The optional argument specifies how much licensing
|
|
detail to provide. The default is to print just the version. The licensing infomation may be selected with an option argument.
|
|
Only the first letter of the argument is examined:
|
|

<h3 class="section">Internal Commands</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Interactive format commands consist of a keyword followed by zero to four arguments. Only enough characters of the full keyword to uniquely identify the command need be typed. The output of a command is normally sent to the standard output, but optionally the output of individual commands may be sent to a file by appending a <code>></code>, followed by a file name, to the command line. A number of interactive format commands are executed entirely within the <code>ntpq</code> program itself and do not result in NTP mode-6 requests being sent to a server. These are described following.
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code><a name="help"></a> ? [</code><kbd>command_keyword</kbd><code>]</code><dt><code>help [</code><kbd>command_keyword</kbd><code>]</code><dd>A <code>?</code> by itself will print a list of all the command keywords known to <code>ntpq</code>.

<kbd>name</kbd><code> = </code><kbd>value</kbd>, where the <code>= </code><kbd>value</kbd> is ignored,

and can be omitted in read requests.
|
|
<code>ntpq</code> maintains an internal list in which data to be included
|
|
in control messages can be assembled, and sent using the <code>readlist</code>
|
|
and <code>writelist</code> commands described below.
|
|
The <code>addvars</code> command allows variables and optional values
|
|
to be added to the list.
|
|
If more than one variable is to be added
|
|
the list should be comma-separated and not contain white space.
|
|
The <code>rmvars</code> command can be used to remove individual variables
|
|
from the list,
|
|
while the <code>clearlist</code> command removes all variables from the list.
|

<p>Association IDs are used to identify system, peer and clock variables.
|
|
System variables are assigned an association ID of zero and system name space,
|
|
while each association is assigned a nonzero association ID and peer namespace.
|
|
Most control commands send a single mode-6 message to the server
|
|
and expect a single response message.
|
|
The exceptions are the <code>peers</code> command,
|
|
which sends a series of messages,
|

which iterate over a range of associations.

<p>The current state of the operating program is shown

and each association separately.
|
|
These words are displayed in the <code>rv</code> and <code>as</code> commands
|
|
both in hexadecimal and decoded short tip strings.
|
|
The codes, tips and short explanations are on the
|
|
<a href="decode.html">Event Messages and Status Words</a> page.
|
|
The page also includes a list of system and peer messages,
|
|
the code for the latest of which is included in the status word.

<p>Information resulting from protocol machine state transitions
|
|
is displayed using an informal set of ASCII strings called

<a href="decode.html#kiss">kiss codes</a>.
|
|
The original purpose was for kiss-o'-death (KoD) packets sent
|
|
by the server to advise the client of an unusual condition.

They are now displayed, when appropriate,

in the reference identifier field in various billboards.
