System

Get system clock synchronization state

Returns the current kernel time-discipline state as reported by ntp_adjtime(2). This includes the TAI-UTC offset, PLL status, current offset being applied, and frequency adjustment — the same information used by chrony, ntpd and systemd-timesyncd.

Useful for diagnosing flows that use Realtime or Tai pipeline clocks, where the accuracy depends on how the OS clock is being synchronized.

get/api/system/clock

Response

System clock state

est_error_usinteger required

Estimated error, in microseconds.

frequency_ppmnumber double required

Current frequency adjustment in parts-per-million.

last_updateinteger nullable

Timestamp when this info was read (Unix seconds).

max_error_usinteger required

Maximum error estimate, in microseconds.

offset_nsinteger required

Current time offset being applied to the clock, in nanoseconds.

pll_activeboolean required

Whether PLL discipline is active (STA_PLL).

statestring required

High-level state from ntp_adjtime() return value. One of: ok, ins (leap insert pending), del, oop, wait, error (unsynced).

synchronizedboolean required

Whether the kernel considers the clock synchronized (STA_UNSYNC not set).

tai_offset_secinteger required

TAI - UTC offset in seconds (typically 37 as of 2026). Set by the clock sync daemon so that CLOCK_TAI is correct.
