It is important for the nodes to have there system clocks synchronized. If they get too far out of sync it affects their ability to form consensus.

The timestamp reported by a node during an authenticated validator-info call indicates the node's system time. A comparison of the time differences between all of the nodes should be performed. When a clock skew of more than a few seconds (actual time TBD) a warning report (in the warnings list) should be generated.

This is to address NTP time sync discussions here; #24 (comment)

The implementation should build on the analysis plugin once merged; #26

Additional Requirements:

  • The "allowed" clock skew should be configurable, and have a reasonable default.
