All of a sudden metrics getting lost
I'm using graphite to monitor our systems, especially aerospike nodes. Till last week, I was able to see the historical data (3months, 6 months) of the metrics. Two days back when I checked, all the old metrics are gone and only a day of metrics were present.
Today when I checked, only yesterday's data is present.
I read through forums and understood that metrics are retained as per definitions in /etc/carbon/
It has the default entries.
[default_
pattern = .*
retentions = 60s:1d
I checked the creates.log and see the below entries.
15/10/2018 05:04:18 :: new metric instances.
15/10/2018 05:04:18 :: new metric instances.
15/10/2018 05:04:18 :: creating database file /var/lib/
So as per my understanding, the metrics are matching the [default_
My question is how all of a sudden the metrics are matching the [default_
I confirm that no changes are made in the configurations or the metrics exporters.
Also can you explain the term "The retentions line is saying that each datapoint represents 10 seconds, and we want to keep enough datapoints so that they add up to 14 days of data." referring to 'retentions = 10s:14d'?
Does it mean that all data will be retained for 14days? What will happen if i change the 10s to 1s?
