environment:
SE 3.2.1, orca-0.27b2, orcallator.se & cfg 1.32
compiled with gcc2.95.3 on Solaris 8, 64 bit, Sun blade 1000,
with ActivePerl-5.6.1.631.
target systems are Sun ultra 60's and Sunblade 1000's,
mix of sol2.6 & sol8.
Interesting observation: occasionally, on systems with
significant idle cpu, cpu usage graphs will have
blank bands in the plot.
Examining the raw data recorded by SE/orcallator.se, it
appears the idle cpu% is sometimes shown as exceeding 100%.
101.5, 100.8, values like that. Apparently the default
orca config declares this as "unknown" and plots nothing.
One workaround is to modify the orcallator.cfg file so that:
data idle%
is changed to
data 1 * ( idle% )
and
data_max 100
is deleted entirely.
curious that the "1 * ( idle% ) is needed.
a bug or a feature?
