NTP includes a network-enabled monitoring utility called NTP

QUERY. This utility has a number of features that enable the user to monitor the performance of all time servers from a single console. To learn more about NTPQ, please refer to NTP documentation.

The user enters pe to request the Peer Status List from the local server:

ntpq> pe

A table similar to the following one is generated. Each entry in the table provides information about a reference clock that NTP is attempting to synchronize with.
