Attributes
Recommended tunables
-
ntp['servers']
- (applies to NTP Servers and Clients)- Array, should be a list of upstream NTP servers that will be considered authoritative by the local NTP daemon. The local NTP daemon will act as a client, adjusting local time to match time data retrieved from the upstream NTP servers.
The NTP protocol works best with at least 4 servers. The ntp daemon will disregard any server after the 10th listed, but will continue monitoring all listed servers. For more information, see Upstream Server Time Quantity at support.ntp.org.
-
ntp['peers']
- (applies to NTP Servers ONLY)- Array, should be a list of local NTP peers. For more information, see Designing Your NTP Network at support.ntp.org.
-
ntp['restrictions']
- (applies to NTP Servers only)- Array, should be a list of restrict lines to define access to NTP clients on your LAN.
-
ntp['sync_clock']
(applies to NTP Servers and Clients)- Boolean. Defaults to false. Forces the ntp daemon to be halted, an ntp -q command to be issued, and the ntp daemon to be restarted again on every Chef-client run. Will have no effect if drift is over 1000 seconds.
-
ntp['sync_hw_clock']
(applies to NTP Servers and Clients)- Boolean. Defaults to false. On *nix-based systems, forces the 'hwclock --systohc' command to be issued on every Chef-client run. This will sync the hardware clock to the system clock.
- Not available on Windows.
-
ntp['restrict_default']
- String. Defaults to 'kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery'. Set to 'ignore' to further lock down access.
-
ntp["listen_network"]

ntp["listen_network"]
should be set to 'primary' to listen on the node's primary IP address as determined by ohai, or set to a CIDR (eg: '192.168.4.0/24') to listen on the last node address on that CIDR. -
ntp["listen"]
can be set to a specific address (eg: '192.168.4.10') instead ofntp["listen_network"]
to force listening on a specific address. - If both
ntp["listen"]
andntp["listen_network"]
are set thenntp["listen"]
will always win.
-
ntp["ignore"]
- Array, interface names to ignore from listening. Can be used to disable listening wildcard interfaces (eg: ['wildcard', '::1']), can be combined with
ntp["listen"]

Usage
default recipe
Set up the ntp attributes in a role. For example in a base.rb role applied to all nodes:
name 'base' description 'Role applied to all systems' default_attributes( 'ntp' => { 'servers' => ['time0.int.example.org', 'time1.int.example.org'] } )
Then in an ntpserver.rb role that is applied to NTP servers (e.g., time.int.example.org):
name 'ntp_server' description 'Role applied to the system that should be an NTP server.' default_attributes( 'ntp' => { 'servers' => ['0.pool.ntp.org', '1.pool.ntp.org'], 'peers' => ['time0.int.example.org', 'time1.int.example.org'], 'restrictions' => ['10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 nomodify notrap'] } )
The timeX.int.example.org used in these roles should be the names or IP addresses of internal NTP servers. Then simply add ntp, or ntp::default
to your run_list to apply the ntp daemon's configuration.
undo recipe
If for some reason you need to stop and remove the ntp daemon, you can apply this recipe by adding ntp::undo
to your run_list. The undo recipe is not supported on Windows at the moment.
windows_client recipe
Windows only. Apply on a Windows host to install the Meinberg NTPd client.

ntp Cookbook CHANGELOG
This file is used to list changes made in each version of the ntp cookbook.
v1.11.1 (2016-05-12)
- Ownership of this cookbook has been transferred back to Chef Software.
v1.11.0 (2016-03-29)
- When force setting the clock run ntp as the ntp user to ensure we don't set file ownership to root
- Added optional support for orphan mode
- Require windows cookbook 1.38.0 to resolve several issues with the older cookbook versions

v1.10.0 (2016-02-04)
