[Orca-users] Re: Newbie Q: orca'ing previous rrd files

[Blair Zajac]

RRDtool lets you plot data from specific time intervals but Orca isn't
set up
to do this, and even if you could, the resolution of the data gets worse
as you
go back in time due to consolidation.  So, as mentioned below, the best
way
to keep plots of older data around is to use a cron job that makes a
copy of
the HTML directory.  People have posted such scripts to this mailing
list you
could look for, but it should be really easy to write one.

Blair
