Difference between system time and NTP time

May I ask what the system time and NTP time represent

SuperSandro2000 commented 10 months ago

ntp_drift_seconds is based on ClockOffset of the ntp library we are using.

system time is the time of the linux server where the exporter is running and ntp time is what the ntp server reported. offset or drift is the estimated difference between that.
