Are you trying to save disk space?

If so, then do the following steps:

1) Stop Orca.
2) Comment out the plots you don't want in orcallator.cfg.
3) Delete all your *.rrd files and all the files in your html_dir.
4) Start Orca.

There's no document that describes this and it would be easiest
if you looked through it.

If you want to save even more disk space, you could edit
start_orcallator.sh and remove the -DWATCH_OS and add the
-DWATCH_XXX you want.

In orcallator.se, this is what WATCH_OS does:

// If WATCH_OS is defined, then measure every part of the operating
// system.
#ifdef WATCH_OS
#define WATCH_CPU               1
#define WATCH_MUTEX             1
#define WATCH_NET               1
#define WATCH_TCP               1
#define WATCH_NFS_CLIENT        1
#define WATCH_NFS_SERVER        1
#define WATCH_MOUNTS            1
#define WATCH_DISK              1
#define WATCH_DNLC              1
#define WATCH_INODE             1
#define WATCH_RAM               1
#define WATCH_PAGES             1
#endif

So if you turn off WATCH_OS, make sure you define what you
want.

If you go to this level, then you could probably just leave
orcallator.cfg untouched, as it make plots for data that doesn't
exist.

Best,
Blair
