There must be a syslog entry for ntpd daemon when it updates the local (client) time wrt server.

Grepping on my beagonebone syslog, I found this below entry for ntpd with respect to server:

proto: precision = 1.666 usec (-19)

Any lead for the log when ntpd updates the local time and how the log looks like?

Note: Not interested to query like ntpq -p or ntpstat.

Go to the download folder of your distribution builder (openembedded, buildroot, ...) and locate the source package for the ntp software. Have a look at the source. Only through inspecting the source you will know what a log entry actually means.
