The following are examples of NTP messages in the event log:
2012-04-04 12:13:48+09:00JST "NTP: Periodic query of server ..... Updated system clock." 0 90000:1 ../ntp.cpp:682
2012-04-04 14:13:11+09:00JST "NTP: Periodic query of server..... Updated system clock." 0 90000:96 ../ntp.cpp:682
In messages such as the one above:
9000
is the numeric code for NTP messages1
and 96
indicate event severity level, where
1 CM_SEVERITY_SEVERE
indicates an event with high severity96 CM_SEVERITY_NORMAL_EVENT
indicates an event with normal severityThe event log may show these messages, for example, if the system clock is offset from the NTP server time. In addition, If the offset is large, log shows an event with severity code 1:
2012-04-04 12:13:48+09:00JST "NTP: Periodic query of server xx.xx.xx.xx, system clock is 31 seconds 110 ms fast compared to NTP time. Updated system clock." 0 90000:1 ../ntp.cpp:682
If you then acquire the UTC time from the server, the severity code changes to 96:
2012-04-04 14:13:11+09:00JST "NTP: Periodic query of server xx.xx.xx.xx, system clock is 0 seconds 257 ms fast compared to NTP time. Updated system clock." 0 90000:96 ../ntp.cpp:682
