Hope the new job/new city is suiting you.

OK, the new orcallator.se / orca combination gives me a graph with all the
disks in it.  This becomes rather messy when you have 20+ disks on a machine.
In this case, I find it more useful to have one graph per machine.  Previously,
I had an explicit entry for each disk and, hoping perhaps to pervert the cause
of justice, I was hoping there was some way of using regular expressions to get
what I wanted.

This almost works:

---

plot {
title                   %g Disk Run Percent - $1
source                  orcallator
data                    disk_runp_(c\d+t\d+d\d+)
data                    disk_runp_(c\d+t\d+d\d+)
line_type               line2
line_type               line2
legend                  $1
legend                  $1
y_legend                Run Percent
data_min                0
data_max                100
plot_min                0
href
http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~blair/orca/docs/orcallator.html#disk_run_percent
}

plot {
title                   %g Disk Percent Usage - $1
source                  orcallator
data                    mntP_(.*)
data                    mntp_(.*)
line_type               line2
line_type               line2
legend                  Space Percent Used
legend                  Inode Percent Used
y_legend                Percent Used
data_min                0
data_max                100
plot_min                0

 It produces most of the HTML pages I want, but it seems to fall foul of
something when it is trying to create the html as I get loads of messages like
this:
---

If anyone has any answers, let me know.  Otherwise, I'll keep plugging away at
it.  If all else fails. I can go back to explicit plotting.

Cheers,
Duncan.
