I want to monitor NTP error message to catch synchronization fail like network unreachable, server error etc..

When I add logconfig =allall in /etc/ntp.conf, and restart ntpd, trying to get more information when error occurs, but the output information is not enough for me to monitor.

But, if I run ntp in debug mode, like "ntpd -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -D 4", I can get more detail information.

Could I just modify ntp config file to do the same thing as debug mode?

By the way, logconfig seems not written on man page.

Thank you!

You don't say which OS you are running this on, or trying to configure this for but... if its a linux OS then have a look in the following file.

/etc/sysconfig/ntpd that is the default options file which is read when the daemon is started. My default config contains OPTIONS="-u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g"

You should be able to modify that to suite your requirement of additional logging.
