+== Introduction ==
+
+Because NTP is a widely-used an sell-established service, people 
+who write tools for system administrators not infrequently have
+features and plugins designed to help you work with it. This
+page collects some references that may be useful.
+
+== Wireshark ==
+
+The https://www.wireshark.org/[Wireshark] protocol analyzer has
+support for displaying NTP packets with the fields broken out
+and interpreted.
+
+== Nagios ==
+
+The https://www.nagios.org/[Nagios] monitoring suite has native
+support for querying NTP servers.  The 'check_ntp_peer' and
+'check_ntp_time' programs may be of particular interest.
