[Orca-users] Re: file was current and now is not

[Blair Zajac]

Well, this can happen when you don't have the interval set in orca
set to the same interval as the data is being recorded.  In this
case, you should probably change the interval to 600 seconds.

You also now have the problem that the RRD file is interpolating
your data to 500 second intervals and you're recording every 600
seconds.  This can cause some missing data in the RRD file.  If
you don't have too much data, you may want to delete the RRD files
and have them record new data.  If this doesn't work, you can do
a dump of the file and create a new RRD file.  I don't know how
to do this however.  This may be a good question for the rrd
tool mailing list.

Also, the interval specified to orca is used in determining if
a source data file is old or not and if Orca will print the
warning you are seeing.  Change the 500 to 600 and this should
also go away.
