[Orca-users] RE: What is the best way to create classes of server s?

[Erik Melander]

Before asking the question, I initially modified my orcallator.se section
with the define '#define 
WATCH_WEB' and instead of 1 I set it to 0 in hopes of preventing the web
graphs.  Unfortunately,
it seems as though I am still graphing 0's for the web server information.
Sorry to be so slow, but can
you give an example of how I would properly set these attributes?  Thanks
for all your help!

Orca is designed where if measurements for a particular plot are missing
then it won't plot the data.  However, if you are measuring even 0's, then
Orca will plot them.

What you want to do is edit start_orcallator and put some smarts there on
what defines to pass to orcallator.se so it know what to measure.  If you
don't have a web server, then make sure WATCH_WEB or WATCH_HTTPD is not
defined.  You can do this for the other WATCH_ defines in orcallator.se.
Be careful that WATCH_OS turns on almost everything except for WATCH_WEB,
so if you want to turn off, say, WATCH_NFS_SERVER, then you'll need to
not set WATCH_OS and define the rest.

This way you can use the same orcallator.cfg file for all your systems.
