That doesn't seem to be implemented yet on beta.xymon.com:

Fri Jan 10 19:29:02 2014 ntp ok


Service ntp on blixen.hswn.dk is OK (up)


Command: ntpdate -u -q -p 2 192.168.1.1 2>&1

server 192.168.1.1, stratum 2, offset -0.000006, delay 0.02565
10 Jan 19:29:22 ntpdate[8420]: adjust time server 192.168.1.1 offset
-0.000006 sec


That's probably a show-stopper for migrating our core xymon server to SuSE.
Is there a snapshot tarball with the new ntp method in it?
