Monitor the Time Synchronization Status

Monitor the status

Please use the monitoring tool to monitor the time synchronization status as shown below. The monitoring tool is under the installation directory on Windows e.g. C:\Program Files\Napatech3\bin.

# /opt/napatech3/bin/monitoring

Then, press the X key to go to the time synchronization monitoring. The monitoring area displays whether each SmartNIC is in synchronization or not, the time stamp format, and each connector’s configuration.
