[Orca-users] RE: [Question]: Sending RRD/Orcallator.se data to a central server

[Trent Melcher]

You could rcp or scp the current files over based on date every x number of
minutes.  Thats what I do.  I have a script that runs from cron on the
server that pulls the files from the clients every 5 minutes.  It parses the
current date so it only pulls the current file. I pull data from about 120
servers in under 5 minutes.  Not sure how well this is going to work once we
go to about 250 servers.  There is only 300 seconds in 5 minutes and pulling
each file take about 2-3 seconds with connection, transfer, disconnect.
Maybe running some at the same time.  But then you take away from the
processing power to generate the graphs....Oh well thats down the road for
now.

central server


  Hi
  I have a webserver running orca and I would like to send the client
rrd/orcallator.se data to it
  to process and create the graphs.  The company has a strict no-NFS policy.
Any ideas
  as to how I could achieve this?  So far I have thought about cooking up a
shell script
  to use scp to send the data over and let orca process it on the server.

  Regards,
