# 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 ``` [](<>)
