Netdata can stream metrics from some hosts (slaves) to others (masters), 
and respective configuration file /etc/netdata/stream.conf has the 
following in section [stream]:

```

[stream]
     ...


     # Attempt to sync the clock the of the master with the clock of the
     # slave for that many iterations, when starting.
     initial clock resync iterations = 60

```

Nice idea, when you never thought about clock syncing. What actual tools 
proper tools are used in a bunch of physical machines. Master time server?
