[Orca-users] Stale data, something's not running?

[Thad Rasmussen]

Just to be clear, the procallator or orcallator scripts are the
data-collectors that creates the date-stamped log files for client
machines.  The orca script is the recipient of those data files, which are
parsed into RRD structures, then images are updated.  I am not certain how
frequently pages are updated, but likely dynamically as needed.

So make sure that you have the orca script running on the server, which
hosts the web-pages.  You can use bash to find the *pidof perl* scripts
running and then *cat /proc/###/cmdline*.  With that determine if *orca *is
running.  When it is, the images and pages ought to be refreshing.

If not you can always try enabling the logging (*./bin/orca -d -l
myLog.txtconfig-file/procallator
*) and include additional information.
