What is hillstoneNTPServStatus?

This read-only value reports the current NTP synchronization role or state of a specific configured time server, using values like sourceMaster, sourcePeer, selected, candidate, or configured to describe where that server currently sits in the device's time-sync selection process. An administrator checks this to verify the firewall has actually settled on and is synchronizing against a good time source, rather than just having servers configured but not actually selected for use. For example, seeing a server's status as selected(3) confirms the device has chosen that particular server as its currently active time source, while another configured server might simply show configured(5), meaning it's defined but not currently in active use.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.28557.2.8.1.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HILLSTONE-NTP-MIB::hillstoneNTPServStatus

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.28557.2.8.1.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HILLSTONE-NTP-MIB::hillstoneNTPServStatus.1

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Hillstone Networks firewall/security gateway (NTP config) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type hillstoneNTPServStatus into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The status of this NTP server. 1:source(master);2:source(peer);3:selected;4:candidate;5:configured;. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value stays at 'candidate' or 'configured' longer than you'd expect, since that means this NTP server hasn't actually been selected as a synchronization source. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
