# time collector
|
|
|
|
The time collector exposes the Windows Time Service metrics. Note that the Windows Time Service must be running, else metric collection will fail.
|
|
If the Windows Time Service is stopped after collection has started, collector metric values will reset to 0.

Name | Description | Type | Labels
|
|
-----|-------------|------|-------
|
|
`windows_time_clock_frequency_Adjustment_ppb_total` | Total adjustment made to the local system clock frequency by W32Time in parts per billion (PPB) units. 1 PPB adjustment implies the system clock was adjusted at a rate of 1 nanosecond per second (1 ns/s). The smallest possible adjustment can vary and is expected to be in the order of 100's of PPB. | counter | None
|
|
`windows_time_computed_time_offset_seconds` | Absolute time offset between the system clock and the chosen time source, in seconds. | counter | None
|
|
`windows_time_ntp_client_time_source_count` | Active number of NTP Time sources being used by the client. This is a count of active, distinct IP addresses of time servers that are responding to this client's requests. | gauge | None
|
|
`windows_time_ntp_round_trip_delay_seconds` | Total roundtrip delay experienced by the NTP client in receiving a response from the server for the most recent request, in seconds. This is the time elapsed on the NTP client between transmitting a request to the NTP server and receiving a valid response from the server. | gauge | None
|
|
`windows_time_ntp_server_outgoing_responses_total` | Total number of requests responded to by the NTP server. | counter | None
|
|
`windows_time_ntp_server_incoming_requests_total` | Total number of requests received by the NTP server. | counter | None
