How Do I Delete Individual Data Points?

Asked by Devin Foley

Hello,

I had a process go haywire for a while and sent some bad data into my graphs for a few days, once per hour, that I'd like to remove. I don't want to delete the entire graph, just these 24 bad points. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Send a new value manually for that time.

for example, if the metric is called 'foo.bar.load.15minAvg', the time
of the error was exactly 2:23 PM Central Time today, and your Graphite
server is 10.0.0.2:2003

(note the date command wont work on sun / solaris.)

$ date -d 'Tue May 3 14:23:30 CDT 2011' +%s #epoch time - note the
extra leading space on the 3 in 'May 3'
1304450610
echo "foo.bar.load.15minAvg 1.0 1304450610" | nc 10.0.0.2 2003

That would overwrite the datapoint with the value 1.0.

Thanks Nick.

Also thanks to Chris who answered this one in the IRC chat. I should have come in here and closed the question myself.
