ntp-server-status-get-iter.ntp-server-status-info is probably what you are looking for.

Yes. Thank you!

@ruanruijuan Hey, I could enable the metric collection on cmode for ntp servers, but I could not find the api for 7-mode. I queried zapi apis and grepped for both nis & server apis. Can you help find the api for nis 7-mode?

@jmg011 I contacted an engineer in the CoreSW team of ONTAP who hasn't touched 7-mode for years and here is his answer:
Assuming your have ntp running , not timed, they may be able to simply probe the ntp server via an ntpq command from a client machine on the network.

ntpq -p alward-vsim1.sim.rtp.netapp.com

remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

ntp02.rtp.eng.n .INIT. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000

And I find a related KB article (you will need to sign in to see the entire page)
https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Software/ONTAP_OS/How_to_verify_NTP_operation_in_Data_ONTAP_8_(7-Mode_and_clustered_Data_ONTAP)
To print the status of a remote NTP server, use the following command.
In 7-Mode, the hostname/IP address is the interface used to manage the controller.
In clustered Data ONTAP, this is the ‘node-mgmt’ LIF for the node.
host# ntpq -pn name_or_IP

Example output:

[root@host]# ntpq -pn pepper

 remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset jitter

==============================================================================
