Definitions of Managed Objects for Network Time Protocol Version 4
RFC 5907, “Definitions of Managed Objects for Network Time Protocol Version 4”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2010 by H. Gerstung, C. Elliott, B. Haberman. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used in networks of all types and sizes for time synchronization of servers, workstations, and other networked equipment. As time synchronization is more and more a mission-critical service, standardized means for monitoring and management of this subsystem of a networked host are required to allow operators of such a service to set up a monitoring system that is platform- and vendor-independent. This document provides a standardized collection of data objects for monitoring the NTP entity of such a network participant and it is part of the NTP version 4 standardization effort. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
