[ntp:questions] nagios

I am trying to monitor NTP servers with nagios.
I use the standard plugin check_ntp_peer.

It appears that it is only checking the offset and jitter of the
currently selected peer.  When I run check_ntp_peer with some threshold
it returns the same values as present on the ntpq output line with *
at the beginning.

I think this is wrong.  It should do the equivalent of "ntpq -c rv"
and pick the offset and sys_jitter values from there.

Is anyone aware of a nagios plugin that does that?
