    DS ntp ntpstat.rrd:offsetms <-10 COLOR=red "TEXT=NTP offset &Vms
lower than &Lms"
    DS ntp ntpstat.rrd:offsetms <-5 COLOR=yellow "TEXT=NTP offset &Vms
lower than &Lms"

This monitors NTP offset and alerts on exceeding the thresholds and
sends the status to the "ntp" status page.  I enabled this only today,
and while it generates alerts on exceeding the threshold, it hasn't
been "bedded in" so there might be faults with how I've used this.

Note that the doco (man analysis.cfg) shows the correct format but
misses the column in the example.
