[Orca-users] Multiple disk space percentage graphs

[David Michaels]

You can specify the plot with with the "plot_width" setting in the plot 
{}.  For instance:

plot {
title                   %g Disk Inode Percent Usage
source                  orcallator
data                    mntp_(/(?!vxckpt|checkp|verita).*)
...
plot_width      700
}

As for having too many filesystems on one graph, you can create multiple 
plot {} entries, and just modify the data expression to include a subset 
of those filesystems.  For example, if you have lots of filesystems 
under /export, you could do something to specify /export/[a-m]* for one 
plot and /export/[n-z]* for another.  In my example above, I exclude any 
veritas checkpoint filesystems.

Also, if you're not sure which 'blue' you're looking at, you can compare 
the values printed for those blue filesystems in the bottom of the 
graph.  Usually the max / current numbers will help you identify which 
line is which.

Lastly, you can specify a color order using "color", as in the above 
example.

Cheers,
