[Orca-users] Re: yet another orca question...

[mbanker1966]

Okay, I've changed my approach somewhat for this issue... maybe
somebody can help me out.

I have a single directory with all the orca perf data in
it: /orca/data/$hostname

There are hundreds of hosts in this directory.  I have some lookup
code that will pull the appropriate group name from a database for
each of these hosts.  So it will return something like NYPROD or
LNDEV for each host.

What I want is the initial html index page to list these groups, and
by clicking on the group you will get the page with all the
appropriate hosts.  There are just too many hosts to have on one page
at this point and I'm just trying to logically group them.

Anyone do something like this?

Thanks!
