point by point -
- I started out with WEB_SERVER=httpd - the graph is always zeros
despite the fact that ps -aef | grep httpd always returns a minimun of
10 httpd processes. But I certainly will change it back to just httpd.
We are using apache. 
- your ? about just to be clear - what you describe is correct.
- 3.2.1
- if you are asking me about the format of the name of the output
files - here is what they are -
  percol-2002-05-15.gz  percol-2002-05-20.gz  percol-2002-05-25.gz
percol-2002-05-16.gz  percol-2002-05-21.gz  percol-2002-05-26.gz
percol-2002-05-17.gz  percol-2002-05-22.gz  percol-2002-05-27
percol-2002-05-18.gz  percol-2002-05-23.gz
percol-2002-05-19.gz  percol-2002-05-24.gz

I need to let you know that the orca data for this server resumed
being updated friday at midnight - when it would have rolled over to
a new percol file for Saturday. that's great but doesn't help me
understand what happened - maybe it does not like the contents of
what it is collecting changed within the interval of one percol file.

I will make the change to the WEB_SERVER var and restart orcallator.

Thanks much for the input and on a holiday weekend no less!
