Time sync diagnostics

v0.1.8

Clock-sync state: chrony tracking + sources, NTP peer status, current time, drift estimate, timezone, plus fix actions (chronyc makestep, enable/disable NTP). Use when a host's clock is drifting (a common cause of TLS / auth / log-correlation bugs).

Install

emisar pack install fetches this pack, re-validates it, and verifies its content hash against the --hash below — the exact bytes this page was rendered against, so a tampered copy is rejected — before copying it into the runner's packs dir. The command reloads a running daemon itself; no manual restart.

on the runner host

sudo emisar pack install time-sync --hash sha256:fa271a412ac92244b3a80c2ec8586c0e49ff2da5e83be19f958d61c2b72772d2

time.chrony_sources exec low

chronyc sources -v

List NTP sources + reach + stratum + offset.

time.chrony_tracking exec low

chronyc tracking

Show Chrony's view of clock drift, frequency, last update.

time.chronyc_makestep exec high

chronyc makestep

Force chrony to step the system clock NOW instead of slewing. Use when drift exceeds slew tolerance and applications can't wait. Jumps in time can confuse cert validation, log timestamps, and event ordering.

time.date_now exec low

date -u

Show UTC + local time + day-of-week. Compare against the requester's clock to spot drift.
View source on GitHub
time.ntpq_peers exec low

ntpq -pn

List the NTP peer table (for systems still using ntpd rather than chrony).

time.timedatectl exec low

timedatectl status

Show current time, timezone, NTP-active state, RTC sync state.
View source on GitHub
time.timedatectl_set_ntp exec high

timedatectl set-ntp <bool>

Enable or disable NTP synchronization. Disabling is rare — primarily for offline testing.
