Dear *,

How can I retrieve a certimaster timestamp from the executed module on the client ?
I do not know if I clearly explain my demand.

Let's go for more details :
Imagine the minions and certimaster are not synchronized with a NTP server. If I execute a module witn timestamp code on the minions at the same time, there is a lot chance I retrieve different timestamp from minions. Ok, I am pretty sure you will told me in that case : Install a NTP server in your infrastructure ! Yes, the client should do it. So, I was wondering if I could have a quick mean to retreive timestamp from one reference machine or the cermaster server.
I'm not entirely sure I understand the question or the scenario. What kind of timestamp are you looking for? There isn't any specific module for getting the time on a minion currently. You could call command.run with "date".

And yes, it is a good idea to run NTP on the minions. The ssl connections that overlord/minion use tend to be very sensitive to the time on each machine.
Maybe, should create a dedicated module ?
   Wouldn't hurt.
