Ticket ID #195 ‐ Applying NTP Server to Clients - GriffinKat/group-a GitHub Wiki

Applying the NTP module to the nodes.

• To apply the module to your nodes, add the following line to each node definition in(Management Server) /etc/puppetlabs/code/environment/production/manifests/site.pp:

  include ntp_service

  

  Then, run the Puppet agent on each machine using the command:

  sudo /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/puppet agent --server=mgmt-a --no-daemonize --verbose --onetime

  Below is the screenshot of the application of the module on all the servers.

  

  

  

• Testing the NTP Configuration

  To verify that your NTP configuration is working, follow these steps:

1. Verify the NTP Service is Running

   Check the status of the NTP service on both the server and clients:

   sudo systemctl status ntp

   

   

   

2. Check NTP Synchronization

   Use the ntpq -p command to check synchronization:

   ntpq -p

   

   

   

   Use the following command to check the synchronization status:

   ntpstat

   

   

   

3. Verify Time Accuracy

   Check the system time on both the server and clients: date

   Management Server(Master)

   

   Apps Server(Node)

   

   Backup Server(Node)

   

   Database Server(Node)

   

   NOTE: Ensure the times are consistent (within milliseconds).
