# Chrony monitoring with Netdata Monitors the precision and statistics of a local chronyd server, and produces: - frequency - last offset - RMS offset - residual freq - root delay - root dispersion - skew - system time ## Requirements Verify that user Netdata can execute `chronyc tracking`. If necessary, update `/etc/chrony.conf`, `cmdallow`. ## Configuration Edit the `python.d/chrony.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the your agent's [config directory](../../../docs/step-by-step/step-04.md#find-your-netdataconf-file), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`. ```bash cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different, if different sudo ./edit-config python.d/chrony.conf ``` Sample: ```yaml # data collection frequency: update_every: 1 # chrony query command: local: command: 'chronyc -n tracking' ``` --- [](<>)
