Old question, but I'm new here, and yesterday I created a good solution for monitoring the time precision of monitored hosts with a userparameter:

UserParameter=time.correction,offset=$(/usr/bin/ntpq -pn | /bin/egrep '^\*' | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $9 }'); [ -z "$offset" ] && offset=1000; /bin/echo "$offset"

This give back the time offset difference in milliseconds from the time of the last server what the ntpd daemon synchronized with.
Or give back 1000, when the ntpq isn't available/usable.
My trigger is alert me, if the difference >500 or <-500 ms.
