 InfluxDB lets you write data in nanosecond precision, however if data isn't
 collected in nanoseconds, there is no need to write at that precision.

 ## Synchronize hosts with NTP
+
 Use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize time between hosts.
 If a timestamp isn't included in line protocol, InfluxDB uses its host's local
 time (in UTC) to assign timestamps to each point.
 If a host's clocks isn't synchronized with NTP, timestamps may be inaccurate.
