Hi,

according to discussions on debian-devel, Debian is kind of planning to
move away from src:ntp as NTP server implementation. chrony is among the
candidates to be a replacement, and it already has significant coverage
since it's installed in the Debian Cloud images.

However, chrony doesn't support ntp mode 6, and thus check_ntp_peer does
not work with chrony servers. It would be lovely if there would be a
plugin that allows remote monitoring of a chrony server.

There is an open github issue upstream since 2018, so it seems unlikely
that upstream will provide such a plugin in the near future. Reference: https://github.com/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins/issues/1526

Greetings
Marc
