[Orca-users] Regex problem with orcallator.se

[David Michaels]

I found a better solution.  As was pointed out to me off-list, the 
'regex' that SE uses is from the standard regex library, and does not 
have functions like what 'egrep' uses, so its functions are somewhat 
limited--no 'or' function for me.  However, I forgot that orcallator.cfg 
can do some degree of manipulation of column data before presenting it 
in the graph.  So, I simply split my vob_server and vob_rpcserver counts 
into two columns in orcallator.se, then modified orcallator.cfg to add 
these two columns together when graphing it (see below).

The reason for combining them is that the sum of these two process 
counts is tied via a formula directly to one of the lockmanager (almd) 
settings for ClearCase.  It's a small step or two, then, to include this 
data on the overview chart, with anything over 1.0 indicating 
insufficient lockmgr sizes.

Anyone else using ClearCase out there who might care? ;)
