NTP Time Server Monitor

- Version 0.9e

The NTP Time Server Monitor software allows the user to
control and configure the NTP service for Windows with
a userfriendly graphical user interface. Additionally
it eases the handling with the NTP service. Here is a
small list of the abilities and features this tool
offers: - Switch easily between different configuration
(ntp.conf files). This is perfectly usable if different
configuration must be tested, or to switch between
testing and operating mode.- Change the service
settings without the need to open the device manager
each time. - Extract the NTP related application log
entries and display them separately in a table. The
user can filter the entries by categories. - Display
the current status of the running NTP service. In fact
it is a graphical output of the command "ntpq -p".
Additionally the current offset, stratum value and the
selected synchronization source is displayed in a
status string. The status is automatically refreshed.
The user can select the refresh interval. - The user
can configure external NTP servers, which are also
queried by the NTP Time Server Monitor and the status
is also displayed. The configuration file of the ntp
service (ntp.conf) can be edited within this program.
So it is no longer necessary to search for the right
file in the possible locations within the Windows or
NTP directory. If changes are made the program is
asking if the service shall be restarted. - The NTP
Time Server Monitor is able to read the system
variables and association vars of the service and
displays them in a textbox for analyzing. - Statistic:
The generated loopstats files can be shown in a
graphical component. The period of logging, the number
of entries, the start and stop time and the minimum and
maximum values of the offset and frequency are
extracted and displayed.
