[Orca-users] newbie question

[Campbell Simpson]

Hi

I was wondering if someone could help me with an initial setup question. I've got v0.26 installed and working properly, but am having problems with the config file (there are no good examples around even though the docs say it's included in the distribution). Anyway I've got a data source which is a file that is updated once a day with the previous days worth of data.

...
955555413 0 0.8 0.8 2.0
955555711 0 0.7 0.7 0.9
955556009 0 0.7 0.8 1.1
955556307 0 0.8 0.8 1.0
...

Below is an example of my very basic config file where I seem to be having problems with "date_source" tag which doesn't work when I try to use a column name, but does work when I use "file_mtime" except it doesn't graph any values.

base_dir /usr/local/orca/
state_file orca.state
html_dir /home/httpd/html/orca
rrd_dir rrd_data

group test {
find_files              /usr/jetstream/servers/HN_TEST_01/20000413.comm
column_description      date packet_loss min_rtt avg_rtt max_rtt
date_format             string
date_source             date
interval                300
}

plot {
title           Round Trip Details
source          test
data            packet-loss
data_type       GAUGE
data_min        0
data_max        100
legend          packet loss 
y_legend        %loss
}

plot {
title           Round Trip Time
source          test
data            min-rtt
data            avg-rtt
data            max-rtt
data_type       GAUGE
y_legend        ms
}                    

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and where I can get some good examples of config files?

Thanks in advance

Campbell
