NTP

NTP is a Network Time Protocol server that runs the Debian 10 ntpd daemon. It uses the local clock as the time source. You can use the NTP service to synchronize the clocks of all hosts on your local network.

To add an NTP service instance:

1. In the Secure Edge Portal, navigate to Marketplace > Service Listing and select NTP.
2. Enter a name for the service instance, and select the network for this instance.
3. Specify a static IP Address for this service instance. It should belong to the same subnet as the local network CIDR, but must be outside the DHCP range. For example, if your local network uses 10.10.0.0/24, and the DHCP range is 10.10.0.15 - 10.10.0.253, select a static IP address from the range 10.10.0.1 - 10.10.0.14.
4. The Kind field is visible only if you're adding the service to a cluster. Specify how to run the service in the cluster:
   • Daemon: One instance of the service runs on all nodes in the cluster.
   • Replica: One instance of the service runs on selected nodes using labels  in the Run Services in Nodes dropdown.
   • Singleton: One instance of the service runs only on the master node, or the newly elected master if the original fails.
     
     
     

     You must select the Singleton option for the NTP service to prevent multiple NTP servers running on the same network.
5. Select the NTP image version.
   
6. Continue to the Remote Logging tab. Enable Remote Logging if you want to send service logs to a remote destination of your choice using Fluent Bit, an open-source log processor and forwarder.
   1. Select Fluent Bit Version: Select the Fluent Bit image version.
   2. Upload either a new Fluent Bit configuration or a previously uploaded one.
      
      Important

      The Fluent Bit configuration filename must be fluent-bit.conf.
      
      
7. Select Submit to finalize your changes.
