[Orca-users] Orca question

[Garry Ferguson]

Avi,
I suspect it might also grow in CPU use on the second machine over time.
You might have the situation that we had.
orcallator collects data from the kernel and puts this data into a file
in a particular directory.
e.g. today's file is
..../<machine-name>/orcallator/orcallator-2005-02-18-000
At the end of the day this file is b2zipped up and a new one created -
all by clever orcallator!
If you don't move the b2zipped files out of the way then orca - the bit
creating the graphs
and web pages - b2unzips them all, checks their data and b2zips them up
again
every time it runs!
That's what we found anyway. Over time this gets very CPU intensive!
 
I just created a sub-directory -
..../<machine-name>/orcallator/archive   -  and a cron 
job to move any .bz2 files into it.
 
Hope that helps,
Garry

	Hi 

	 

	 

	 

	I have Orca running on our master server and whilst the process
is running it takes up most of the CPU utilization (i.e approx 90%). I
have installed Orca on another machine with exactly the same spec and
don't experience any problems there.

	Could you assist as to why Orca takes so much CPU on one machine
and not the other.

	 

	The Operating System is Sun Solaris 9 with the latest SUN
patches.

	 

	 

	Thanks
