[Orca-users] Orca bug?

[rhfreeman]

All,

I've got a customer collector for a system here. Initially it all worked great. The data is reported in kb/sec, so I just divided it by 1024 and got in it MB/sec. It dawned on my that this isn't such a good idea, and I should convert it into bytes and let Orca prefix it with M, k, etc as needed.

plot {
title                   %g Disk IO
source                  orcallator
data                    1024 * diskio_(.*)
line_type               line2
legend                  $1
y_legend                Bytes/s
}

So I came up with this. Suddenly my nice plots became nothing! See "diskio_err.png" I tried hacking around, and still nothing. If I changed it back to / 1024, it works fine. I tried moving "1024 *" around but no help. Then I tried this:

plot {
title                   %g Disk IO
source                  orcallator
data                    1024 * 1 * diskio_(.*)
line_type               line2
legend                  $1
y_legend                Bytes/s
}

And low, it worked fine! See "diskio_works.png". This was generated by just re-running Orca. I've turned on all the verbose options but it hasn't helped as no errors are given.

Any ideas with the 2nd one works, but the first doesn't?!

Cheers,

Rich
