ID: 0708 Title: ntp, ntp.peers: avoid DNS lookups in NTP queries and avoid timeouts Component: Checks & Agents Level: 2 Class: Bug Fix Version: 1.2.5i1 The ntpq queries in the various Unix agents now call ntpq with the option -n. This avoids DNS lookups. Note: the ntp.peers check will then display IP addresses instead of host names. That check will fail if you do not have fixed IP addresses.
