[Orca-users] Problem creating a new plot

[Darren Dunham]

I'm trying to massage some Windows performance data into orca.

Currently I have some machines creating this as their data.

timestamp [...] /Processor-_Total-/%_Processor_Time

And the orcallator.cfg plots it like this..

plot {
title                   %g CPU Usage
source                  windows
data                    /Processor-_Total-/%_Processor_Time
line_type               area
color                   ff0000
legend                  CPU Utilization
[...]

My new machines (but running an older OS) don't total up the time, but
instead give me individual CPU reports like this...

timestamp [...] /Processor-0-/%_Processor_Time

So I tried simply modifying the orcallator.cfg and copying that plot
down to several others.  Here's the first.

plot {
title                   %g CPU 0 Usage
source                  windows
data                    /Processor-_0-/%_Processor_Time
line_type               area
color                   ff0000
legend                  CPU0 Utilization


But I think something's wrong when I run the orcallator..  (yes, yes,
it's an older version.  I'm *trying* to upgrade it, but I keep running
out of RAM with the new version...  that's another topic...)

Basically, I'm worried about the "cannot compile sub.." bit.  Sure
enough, my new plots do not appear.

I don't know why this would be a syntax issue.  It seems that all I've
done is swap a '0' for a 'Total'.  Any ideas?
