Avi,
Move all the ...000 files, except the one for the current day, to the
archive directory(s) too.
They're just not being bzipped, that's all.
Our start_orcallator script defines what compression to use - see
attached.
I don't know how your files get to your master server? We use an nfs
share off the
master server so no actual copying is done and the clients can "control"
their own
files - i.e. bzip them - at all times.

Hi Gary
Thanks for the response. I have tried exactly what you advised
in your email below and moved the .b2zipped files to an archive
directory.
Started Orca and still experience the same problem.

Orca collects data from other machines and hence I have
different directories under the .../orcallator dir.
/opt/orca/var/orca/orcallator
asharma @ aprbvcon40 $ ls -l
total 320
drwxr-xr-x 2 orca root 6656 Feb 19 06:30 aprbvapp20

drwxr-xr-x 2 orca techserv 6656 Feb 19 21:26 archive
The master server (aprbvcon40) had quite afew .b2z files which I
have moved as stated above but the other directories (eg aprbvapp20)
that are clients do not have .b2z files but many .000 file. Are
they suppose to be like that ?

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
