NTP Query

How to verify IP address of the NTP server from which ESXi servers are pulling NTP/Time. ?

[tomtom901]

Go to the host -> Configuration -> Time configuration:

If you have configured a DNS name for the NTP server, you can ping it via SSH. You can also (ESXi 5) find some ntp logging information in /var/log/syslog.log. Use the command below to get all ntp related logging:

cat /var/log/syslog.log | grep ntp

Hope this helps,

i also got one way to know this

run this command:

watch ntpq -p localhost

output will show from which NTP server the ESXi is taking time.
