* Description:
*
* This file contains the check_ntp_peer plugin
*
*  This plugin checks an NTP server independent of any commandline
*  programs or external libraries.
*
*  Use this plugin to check the health of an NTP server. It supports
*  checking the offset with the sync peer, the jitter and stratum. This
*  plugin will not check the clock offset between the local host and NTP
*  server; please use check_ntp_time for that purpose.
