Seems like we should just switch to ntpq as default then!

I'm not at all familiar with NTP, so I'm not sure what the difference between these two tools is, or why one wouldn't work :)
Does anyone else know?
ntpdc is deprecated. It has probably been removed one installations of ntpd.

Howdy Adam, et. al.,
I’ve run into an issue with the agent ntpd script on certain of my servers where the command “ntpdc -c iostats” times out with no response. However, the equivalent command used with ntpq works fine and provides the correct information Witness:
root@observium:/opt/observium# ntpdc -c iostats
localhost: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out
root@observium:/opt/observium# ntpq -c iostats
time since reset: 1116387
receive buffers: 10
free receive buffers: 9
used receive buffers: 0
low water refills: 1
dropped packets: 0
ignored packets: 0
received packets: 140116
packets sent: 145459
packet send failures: 0
input wakeups: 140118
useful input wakeups: 140118

Yes, that is actually on the VM running observium.
For simplicity of minimum changes to the script, I made the following change:
// START SETTINGS ///
$ntpq = "ntpq";
$ntpdc = "ntpq";
// END SETTINGS ///
End result is this:
You can see where I made the change to the script yesterday afternoon.
The related version of ntpd is: ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p4
I don’t know if you want to push this out as a change overall, but wanted to make you aware of this so that it’s documented somewhere at least.
Regards,
Ron
