[Orca-users] Updating Orca graphs at longer intervals

[David Aitchison]

Hello all,

I have scoured the Orca mailing list archives and found nothing on this, so here goes...

As I see it, at set intervals Orca checks for updated percol* files, updates rrd's from that, then generates graphs for whatever requires re-graphing.  This is great for a powerful server, or just a few clients to graph, but the CPU time required for graphing for all our servers is getting too much.

My question:

...Has anyone found a way to have Orca update rrd files regularly, but only update graphs once in a while?

I know this can be done by running Orca with -o and -r switches regularly, then just -o every so often, but I prefer to keep Orca running constantly, so as not to have to re-read all the past percol* files (as it does with a -o switch).

Many thanks in advance,

David Aitchison
