[Orca-users] Stale data, something's not running?

Hello,

I have Orca 0.27 on one of the machines I run.  It worked perfectly until I reboot the box.  Now, even though everything looks like it's running well, the charts are not being updated.

I have procallator.pl running, and as far as I can recall, that's the only Orca-related script/process that I should see running.  I see it's running and doing something, as it's dumping data to the dir specified in $DEST_DIR:
$DEST_DIR="/usr/local/var/orca/vis"

However, other that the "vis" directory under /usr/local/var/orca/, everying else is stale.  Any idea what's not running?

$ ls -al /usr/local/var/orca/
total 72
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root  4096 Aug 29 00:03 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  4096 Apr 30  2006 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Apr 30  2006 orcallator
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  4096 Aug 29 00:03 procallator
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root  4096 Apr 30  2006 rrd
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 32768 Oct 17 00:00 vis


I have a feeling orca.state file is important.  It looks okay to me, but who knows, maybe it's corrupt?
$ ls -al /usr/local/var/orca/rrd/procallator/
total 108
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  4096 Aug 21 17:52 .
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root  4096 Apr 30  2006 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Apr 30  2006 o_.
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 79360 Aug 21 17:36 orca.state

Can I remove orca.state without losing all past data and see if that helps things?

So because of all this, I see files like these, that have not been updated since I rebooted the box:
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   30496 Aug 21 10:28 index.html
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   52128 Aug 21 10:27 o_.-all.html
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   17495 Aug 21 10:27 o_.-daily.html
-rw-r--r--   1 root root    8973 Aug 21 11:25 o_._gauge_1runq,__5runq,__15runq,__ncpus-daily.png
...

And thus my stats are all stale.... and I'm looking for the piece that I need to kick and get going.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

Otis
