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

You can use rsync to do the same thing by specifing the --times argument on=
 the rsync line.  It will only grap the file that has changed since the las=
t time your downloaded the file.  I download a couple hundred machines ever=
y 5 minutes using one rsync server in 10-20 seconds.

  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 s=
erver 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 pul=
ling 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 pr=
ocessing power to generate the graphs....Oh well thats down the road for no=

    Hi=20
    I have a webserver running orca and I would like to send the client rrd=
/orcallator.se data to it=20
    to process and create the graphs.  The company has a strict no-NFS poli=
cy.  Any ideas=20
    as to how I could achieve this?  So far I have thought about cooking up=
 a shell script=20
    to use scp to send the data over and let orca process it on the server.=
