[7.0.0-beta.2] ntpd spam

Thanks I'll see if I can find something in common, but since I can no longer reproduce with beta.3 please also try to find if anything else contributes to this besides "Host access to custom networks" enabled, like does it still do it if all containers are stopped, and after booting in safe mode, and anything else you can think of.

Just one note, I think that after restart the NTP client is not syncing anymore.

 

Web UI will show:

 

 

Checking source for NTP sync:

root@Sam:~# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*LOCAL(0)        .LOCL.          10 l  135  256  377    0.000   +0.000   0.000
 time2.google.co .INIT.          16 u    - 1024    0    0.000   +0.000   0.000

 

Last checking on a server before restarting the ntpd:

 

root@Fanta:~# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 LOCAL(0)        .LOCL.          10 l 168m   64    0    0.000   +0.000   0.000
*time1.google.co .GOOG.           1 u   70  128  377   67.400  +837.45 837.667

 

I know that because I did something similar in the past, if you edit anything in the time settings on the Web UI (such as change NTP server, change it back and press apply) it also restart the ntpd but I noticed that the server start to create drift over time

 

Heck I’ve always had issues with unraid ntpd drifting pretty hardcore. I have a user script updating it on a schedule since a few releases ago and works great.

I think you should create another post to debug your problem. I don't have any issues if I don't manually restart the ntpd, I have a server running beta 2 for more than a month (it will be the same for beta 3) with 0.4msec drift. The server that I restarted the ntpd as accumulated 20msec drift in a day.

may as sample howto avoid the spam for now until @JorgeB or @limetech may find a solution.

 

enhanced log plugin can filter syslog entries

 

 

there you can set a filter ... which i did yesterday after reading up here again and as there seems no solution in sight ...

 

 

since then the log is free from the spam ...

 

cat /var/log/syslog | grep -i multipl

 

 

so, this is not a fixing solution, just to bypass the annoying spam introduced in v7 beta due ntp changes,

syslog stays clean from these annoying messages ...

I have created a draft pr would any one be able to make changes to there rc.ntpd file and run /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd restart to test id=f it fixes the issue?

Already tested your PR 😃I can confirm it resolve the issue for me (20 minutes with no "multiple" in log and clock is reporting to be synchronized), I just wonder, now with it do we need to revert https://github.com/unraid/webgui/commit/12828eec63a27d446c06e95d85f6361ad02fb53d

 

Thanks!

No message since I made that change about 25 mins ago. ntpq -p looks good.

looking good here after a quick lookup, no more spam, ntpd is running

 

root@AlsServerII:~# ntpq -pn
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 127.127.1.0     .LOCL.          10 l  908   64    0    0.000   +0.000   0.000
*2001:4860:4806: .GOOG.           1 u   22   64  377   19.107   -1.256   2.230
root@AlsServerII:~#

 

This would do the change we need, right?

 

sed -i 's/echo "interface listen \$NET # \$(show \$NET)" >>\$CONF/echo "interface listen \$(show \$NET) # \$NET" >>\$CONF/g' /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd
/etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd restart
