15 * This plugin checks an NTP server independent of any commandline
16 * programs or external libraries.
18 * Use this plugin to check the health of an NTP server. It supports
19 * checking the offset with the sync peer, the jitter and stratum. This
20 * plugin will not check the clock offset between the local host and NTP
21 * server; please use check_ntp_time for that purpose.
