[Orca-users] Graphing problem

Thu Jul 10 05:47:11 PDT 2008

Hi Dragon,

Filtering for a single lun works as expected hence it looks like we're
hitting a limitation regards the number of columns per plot.

Given that breaking up into a number of smaller plots isn't ideal does
anyone have any idea how to fix the limitation??

Cheers,
Chris.

Try customizing the disk group in your orcallator.cfg to only graph a
small portion of the disks (using regular expression logic).  For
example, this regex grabs network information only for network devices
matching the patterns:

data                    1024 * 8 *
((?:(?:bge)|(?:ce)|(?:fjge)|(?:v?ge)|(?:skge))\d+)InKB/s
data                    1024 * 8 * $1OuKB/s

(thus, it graphs only bge, ce, ... interfaces).

If you can shrink your disk filter similarly, such as only graphing lun
4 on target 44, you can determine whether your problem has to do with
the large number of disks or with something more fundamental and
irrespective of disk quantity.  In fact, setting your data line to be an
exact duplicate of ONE disk column would be the easiest approach (that
way there's no need for a degree in regular expressions ;) ).
