$ chronyc sourcestats

try on your machine

The "chronyc sourcestats" command is used to display the statistics of the NTP (Network Time Protocol) sources that the chrony time synchronization software is currently using.

When a computer is synchronized with an external time source, such as a server or an NTP server, it receives the time information from these sources. The "chronyc sourcestats" command shows statistical information about these sources, including their names, IP addresses, reference IDs, the time when the last update was received, the total number of updates received, the number of updates discarded, the time offset in seconds, the estimated jitter, and the number of measurements used for the calculations.

This command can be useful for monitoring and troubleshooting time synchronization issues. It provides an overview of the performance and reliability of the time sources being used by chrony, allowing users to identify any sources that may be unreliable or causing synchronization problems.
