The ntp plugin can be configured using the "NTP discovery" ruleset to discover one service for each configured peer reported by ntpd, instead of a single summary service that covers all peers.

Previously, when this one-service-per-peer configuration was enabled, a bug in the check plugin prevented any services from being discovered.

This issue has now been fixed, and the peers are correctly discovered as individual services as expected.

If you have used the one-service-per-peer setting and did not see any new services, re-discover services on the host after this update to make the new services appear.
