[Orca-users] Modifying orca graph rebuilds

[Darren Dunham]

I've inherited a running orca config, and I'm not up to speed on it
yet.

Currently, it's responsible for most of the load on an Ultra 5.  I'd
like to add quite a few more machines to it, so I need to reduce the
load a bit.   It runs out of crontab as below.

# Orca
2,7,12,17,22,27,32,37,42,47,52,57 * * * * /usr/local/orca/bin/orca -o /usr/local/orca/lib/orcallator.cfg &
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/local/orca/bin/orca -o /usr/local/orca/lib/windows.cfg &

I'd like to only rebuild the graphs once an hour, but continue to
collect data every 5 minutes.  Would this do the job?

7,12,17,22,27,32,37,42,47,52,57 * * * * /usr/local/orca/bin/orca -r /usr/local/orca/lib/orcallator.cfg &
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/local/orca/bin/orca -r /usr/local/orca/lib/windows.cfg &
2 * * * * /usr/local/orca/bin/orca -o /usr/local/orca/lib/orcallator.cfg &
0 * * * * /usr/local/orca/bin/orca -o /usr/local/orca/lib/windows.cfg &

Is that all I need, or should I be looking at a different technique?

Thanks for any advice.
