looking at 
https://www.mail-archive.com/chrony-users@chrony.tuxfamily.org/msg01506.html 
seems not to indicate, that there might be an easy solution for the 
problem you mentioned.

If upstream might not handle this, what do you expact from the 
monitoring-plugins maintainers? Feel free to push things forward 
upstream, for example providing patches there.

In the meantime, if there is another plugin which can handle this, feel 
free to request to add it to nagios-plugin-contrib?

Cheers, Jan.
