Hi,
We are also experiencing issues with NTP monitoring for chrony since we updated
Checkmk MD and agents from 1.6.0p27 to 2.0.0.p20.
Since then, several of our hosts report errors in Checkmk for NTP services (example below)
Offset: 0.0818 ms, Stratum: 3, Time since last sync: 7 days 16 hours
When I check chrony status on the host, it reports last update as being n seconds ago (91 in example below, see LastRx value)

I have verified that our check interval for the Check_MK service is set to 1 minute as suggested in
this discussion.
When I look at the check_mk cache directory on the host, the chrony cache file is not being updated.
I have tried removing the cache file but no new cache file is being created.
Any further suggestions on solving this problem would be appreciated.
Attempts to run the check from the checkmk monitoring server against the host via the cmk utility
show no errors but the chrony cache file on the affected hosts is not being updated.
When we run the check_mk_agent manually from the command line on the affected
Linux hosts, the /var/lib/check_mk_agent/cache/chrony.cache file is updated and the monitoring alert reports ntp status as being normal.
Only one idea, is the CMK agent executed as root or do you use some “normal” user for the agent execution? I had one such systems some time ago and the normal user could not write to the “/var/lib/check_mk_agent/cache” directory. This was there the reason for stale cached services.
We tried this and it worked for us with all the affected systems with stale ntp caches (chrony) now updating correctly and no further errors reported by checkmk.
Just for general comparison, as mentioned previously, not all of our systems displayed the error.
They run a mix of Oracle Linux and Red Hat Linux 7 and 8 with all systems running chrony for time synchronisation.
We currently run checkmk rel 2.0.p22 on all systems.
