[Orca-users] Re: hourly ??? ( Daily, Weekly, Monthly,...)

To get hourly reports, you'll want to apply the following patch,
which will generate plots slightly longer than an hour.  Change
the 0.05 value to a larger or smaller value to change the amount
of time the plots show.

If you want to show hourly data using orcallator.se data, you'll
probably want to decrease the measurement interval from 5 to 1 minute
and change the interval value in orcallator.cfg from 300 to 60
seconds, otherwise the hourly plots will look blocky.

Regarding AVERAGE, I presume you're talking about the RRD files and
not the plot summaries, since the plot summaries print the LAST,
AVERAGE, MIN and MAX values.  If you want to change the consolidation
function for the RRD files, you'll need to search and replace AVERAGE
in lib/Orca/RRDFile.pm.

- about Hourly html report, Orca generate well only (daily, weekly,
   monthly,quartely,yearly,all) but not hourly in order to  get more
   precision. How do that ??

- I would like to get the exact value that I read on the data file
(input)
   and not a AVERAGE. How do that ??

Thanks for your help.

     Orca should generate these automatically.  What is happening that
     you aren't seeing hourly reports?

     You'll have to do this through an external RRD script, as Orca will
     not modify this directly, except through the process of adding new
     data to the RRD.

     Once an RRD file is generated by Orca, you'll need to change the
     heartbeat using an external script.

     If you want to change the heartbeat, you should modify the interval
     parameter in Orca's configuration file.  Once the interval is
modified,
     Orca will not change the heartbeat in any existing RRD files, but
     any newly created RRD files will have the new heartbeat.
