*Std Dev*:::
This is the estimated sample standard deviation.
[[selectdata]]*selectdata* [*-a*] [*-v*]::
The *selectdata* command displays information specific to the selection of time
sources. If the *-a* option is specified, all sources are displayed, including
those that do not have a known address yet. With the *-v* option, extra caption
lines are shown as a reminder of the meanings of the columns.

An example of the output is shown below.

The columns are as follows:
+
*S*:::
This column indicates the state of the source after the last source selection.
It is similar to the state reported by the *sources* command, but more
states are reported.
:::
The following states indicate the source is not considered selectable for
synchronisation:
* _N_ - has the *noselect* option.
* _M_ - does not have enough measurements.
* _d_ - has a root distance larger than the maximum distance (configured by the
<<chrony.conf.adoc#maxdistance,*maxdistance*>> directive).
* _~_ - has a jitter larger than the maximum jitter (configured by the
<<chrony.conf.adoc#maxjitter,*maxjitter*>> directive).
* _w_ - waits for other sources to get out of the _M_ state.
* _S_ - has older measurements than other sources.
* _O_ - has a stratum equal or larger than the orphan stratum (configured by
the <<chrony.conf.adoc#local,*local*>> directive).
* _T_ - does not fully agree with sources that have the *trust* option.
* _x_ - does not agree with other sources (falseticker).
:::
The following states indicate the source is considered selectable, but it is
not currently used for synchronisation:
* _W_ - waits for other sources to be selectable (required by the
<<chrony.conf.adoc#minsources,*minsources*>> directive, or
the *require* option of another source).
* _P_ - another selectable source is preferred due to the *prefer* option.
* _U_ - waits for a new measurement (after selecting a different best source).
* _D_ - has, or recently had, a root distance which is too large to be combined
with other sources (configured by the
<<chrony.conf.adoc#combinelimit,*combinelimit*>> directive).
:::
The following states indicate the source is used for synchronisation of the
local clock:
* _+_ - combined with the best source.
* _*_ - selected as the best source to update the reference data (e.g. root
delay, root dispersion).
*Name/IP address*:::
This column shows the name or IP address of the source if it is an NTP server,
or the reference ID if it is a reference clock.
*Auth*:::
This column indicites whether an authentication mechanism is enabled for the
source. _Y_ means yes and _N_ means no.
*COpts*:::
This column displays the configured selection options of the source.
* _N_ indicates the *noselect* option.
* _P_ indicates the *prefer* option.
* _T_ indicates the *trust* option.
* _R_ indicates the *require* option.
*EOpts*:::
This column displays the current effective selection options of the source,
which can be different from the configured options due to the authentication
selection mode (configured by the
<<chrony.conf.adoc#authselmode,*authselmode*>> directive). The symbols are the
same as in the *COpts* column.
*Last*:::
This column displays how long ago was the last measurement of the source made
when the selection was performed.
*Score*:::
This column displays the current score against the source in the _*_ state. The
scoring system avoids frequent reselection when multiple sources have a similar
root distance. A value larger than 1 indicates this source was better than the
_*_ source in recent selections. If the score reaches 10, the best source will
be reselected and the scores will be reset to 1.
*Interval*:::
This column displays the lower and upper endpoint of the interval which was
expected to contain the true offset of the local clock considering the root
distance at the time of the selection.
[[reselect]]*reselect*::
To avoid excessive switching between sources, *chronyd* can stay synchronised
to a source even when it is not currently the best one among the available
