[Orca-users] Re: R=?iso-8859-1?Q?=E9?=p. : Re: Further Info

[Guy Dallaire]

I've finally decided to move orca to a linux box: This will permit to reduce the IO/load on the servers I monitor and fix the problem of the web server (running apache on linux)

I still have a couple of questions:

- I plan to rcp the orcallator files from remote hosts every 10 minutes. I wonder what might happen if I tranfer an "incomplete" file from the remote host to the linux box. I mean, what happens if I transfer the file whil orcallator.se is writing to it, and it is incomplete ? Will orca gracefully detect that some filds are missing from a recodd and ignore the record and process it the next time ?

- What happens when you upgrade orcallator.se ? Does your RRD's become obsolete and do you lose all previous data ? For example if the new orcallator starts to collect new data, or stop collecting other data, or change the way the data is collected ? 

Thanks

Do you have your Orca installation viewable from the Internet
so I can take a look at it?
