I use the HTML and I'm having trouble finding the rdd files.

Hi

I noticed from an earlier message in this thread that you mentioned the
date showing as Mar 2002.
If the RRD file has Mar 2002 as it's latest update then any data earlier
than that will not get written to the RRD file.

To check the latest update time of your RRD file use :
     rrdtool dump <rrdfile>

This is the head of one on my RRD files:
--
<!-- Round Robin Database Dump -->
<rrd>
     <version> 0001 </version>
     <step> 300 </step> <!-- Seconds -->
     <lastupdate> 989172000 </lastupdate> <!-- 2001-05-06 19:00:00 BST -->

     <ds>
          <name> Orca19990222 </name>
          <type> GAUGE </type>
[...]
--

If this is the problem then if you still have the raw data files as written by orcallator.se then delete the RRD files and re-run orca to
recreate the RRDs.
You will probably want to check your raw data files to see where the future data came from ...

Ok, I was able to pipe the output to nawk and the number of fields do not
change. Is it possible to fully rm Orca & the packages so I can start from
scratch? Unless you have a fix. I've installed the tool on 30 or so servers
and this one isn't any different, but it has all the problems.

Well, replace bzcat with the uncompression program you used to compress
your orcallator output and pipe that output to nawk.
