+# timex.plugin
+
+This plugin monitors the system clock synchronization state on Linux nodes.
+
+This plugin creates two charts:
+
+- System clock synchronization state
+- Computed time offset between local system and reference clock
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit the `netdata.conf` configuration file using [`edit-config`](/docs/configure/nodes.md#use-edit-config-to-edit-configuration-files) from the [Netdata config directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
+
+Scroll down to the `[plugin:timex]` section to find the available options:
+
+```
+[plugin:timex]
+ # update every = 1
+ # clock synchronization state = yes
+ # time offset = yes
+```
