ntp

Formulas to set up and configure the ntp client or server.

Note

See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.

Available states

• ntp
• ntp.server
• ntp.local_server
• ntp.ng

ntp

Installs the ntp package, and optionally, a basic config.

ntp.server

Installs the ntp server, an optional server config, and starts the ntp server.

ntp.local_server

This forumula uses pillar data to determine if the server is an internal NTP server or a local server that syncs to the internal NTP server and will write the ntp.conf file accordingly.

Requires CentOS 5.X or CentOS 6.X.

ntp.ng

This state is a re-implementation of the original NTP formula. As a state, ntp.ng controls both the client and server through pillar parameters. This formula does not require that a configuration file be served directly and instead fully exposes all ntp configuration parameters as set in the pillar.

Note: ntp.ng relies upon some conventions first available in the Helium release.
