+# Chrony monitoring with Netdata
+
+Monitors the precision and statistics of a local chronyd server, and produces:
+
+-   frequency
+-   last offset
+-   RMS offset
+-   residual freq
+-   root delay
+-   root dispersion
+-   skew
+-   system time
+
+## Requirements
+
+Verify that user Netdata can execute `chronyc tracking`. If necessary, update `/etc/chrony.conf`, `cmdallow`.
+
+## Enable the collector
+
+The `chrony` collector is disabled by default. To enable it, use `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
+directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`, to edit the `python.d.conf` file.
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
+sudo ./edit-config python.d.conf
+```
+
+Change the value of the `chrony` setting to `yes`. Save the file and restart the Netdata Agent with `sudo systemctl
+restart netdata`, or the appropriate method for your system, to finish enabling the `chrony` collector.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit the `python.d/chrony.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
+directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
+sudo ./edit-config python.d/chrony.conf
+```
+
+Sample:
+
+```yaml
+# data collection frequency:
+update_every: 1
+
+# chrony query command:
+local:
+  command: 'chronyc -n tracking'
+```
+
+Save the file and restart the Netdata Agent with `sudo systemctl restart netdata`, or the appropriate method for your
+system, to finish configuring the `chrony` collector.
