+
+## Overview
+
+Examine Timex metrics to gain insights into system clock operations. Study time sync status, clock drift, and adjustments to ensure accurate system timekeeping.
+
+It uses system call adjtimex on Linux and ntp_adjtime on FreeBSD or Mac to monitor the system kernel clock synchronization state.
+
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
+
+This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
+
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+This integration doesn't support auto-detection.
+
+#### Limits
+
+The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
+
+#### Performance Impact
+
+The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
+
+
+## Metrics
+
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
+
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
+
+
+
+### Per Timex instance
+
+These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| system.clock_sync_state | state | state |
+| system.clock_status | unsync, clockerr | status |
+| system.clock_sync_offset | offset | milliseconds |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+
+The following alerts are available:
+
+| Alert name  | On metric | Description |
+|:------------|:----------|:------------|
+| [ system_clock_sync_state ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/timex.conf) | system.clock_sync_state | when set to 0, the system kernel believes the system clock is not properly synchronized to a reliable server |
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+No action required.
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`.
+Configuration for this specific integration is located in the `[plugin:timex]` section within that file.
+
+The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is:
+
+```ini
+[section1]
+    option1 = some value
+    option2 = some other value
+
+[section2]
+    option3 = some third value
+```
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+At least one option ('clock synchronization state', 'time offset') needs to be enabled for this collector to run.
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| update every | Data collection frequency. | 1 | False |
+| clock synchronization state | Make chart showing system clock synchronization state. | yes | True |
+| time offset | Make chart showing computed time offset between local system and reference clock | yes | True |
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Basic
+
+A basic configuration example.

+
+```yaml
+[plugin:timex]
+  update every = 1
+  clock synchronization state = yes
+  time offset = yes
