[Orca-users] some graphs have blank spaces in them

[David Devault]

I've seen this problem before also but it only happens for about 30
minutes.

For me it happens when my system dynamically mounts new filesystems for
backup purposes.  While the temp filesystems are mounted orca data
collection fails.  Once the filesystems are unmounted the problem goes
away.


The error in the nohup.out file I see has to do with the number of
columns:

Number of columns in line 3 of the orca data file doesnot match column 
description.


I've tried the latest orca and the latest se toolkit on the system and
it still happens.

In my experience this happens if for some reason the data that
orcallator is
collecting changes (not the value of the data, but rather what fields
are
being collected) -- it will then write a new header line in the data
file
with the updated field list, and then continue to write data.  When this
happens I usually get a loss of Orca graphing for the rest of that day.

I have a consistent problem with some of my hosts orca graphs.
The problem is that the graphs sometimes have blank white space in the 
middle of the graphs.
It only happens on some hosts and not others and not always at the same
time

of day.
When it happens, it seems to effect all the graphs for that host at that

time.

Any idea on how to fix this?
I do not have a public place to post the graphs for you to see.

Thanks!

for example if this was a cpu graph, it looks like this. It should be
all 
"x"'s (my crude picture of the graph) but it has white space in spots 
instead of all "x"'s.
