+# Agent Check: chrony
+
+## Overview
+
+This check monitors [chrony][1].
+
+The check executes `chronyc tracking` command and parses the output to extract key time synchronization metrics. It's designed to monitor the health and performance of chrony NTP service.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Installation
+
+To install the chrony check for development testing:
+
+1. Install the [developer toolkit][5] on any machine.
+2. Run `ddev release build chrony` to build the package.
+3. [Download the Datadog Agent][2].
+4. Upload the build artifact to a host with an Agent and run:
+   `datadog-agent integration install -w path/to/chrony/dist/<ARTIFACT_NAME>.whl`.
+
+### Configuration
+
+1. Ensure `chronyc` is installed on the host where the Agent runs (the check executes `chronyc tracking`).
+2. Create the Agent configuration file:
+   - Linux: `/etc/datadog-agent/conf.d/chrony.d/conf.yaml`
+   - macOS (developer mode): `/opt/datadog-agent/etc/conf.d/chrony.d/conf.yaml`
+3. Minimal config example:
+   ```
+   init_config:
+
+   instances:
+     - {}
+   ```
+4. For additional options, see the example config: [conf.yaml.example][4].
+
+### Validation
+
+Run the Agent check to verify it collects metrics:
+
+```
+datadog-agent check chrony
+```
+
+You should see the service check `chrony.can_connect` report `OK` when the `chronyc` command executes successfully.
+
+## Data Collected
+
+### Metrics
+
+### Service Checks
+
+- **`chrony.can_connect`**: Returns `OK` if chronyc command executes successfully, `CRITICAL` otherwise
+
+### Events
+
+chrony does not include any events.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+Need help? Contact [Datadog support][3].
