Maximum allowed errora

The maximum allowed time difference between the Timestamping Authority clock and the chrony client.

When the clock is resynchronized, the service resumes normal timestamp responses.

Mandatory: Yes.

Poll interval

The period between successive connections to the crony client for checking the clock health.
