carbon-relay and federated storage

The most up to date documentation can be found in #graphite on freenode :)

It's sad but true, there are a lot of gaps in the docs at the moment and things continue to evolve so much of the old wiki docs are out of date. Watch http://graphite.readthedocs.org/ for the new stuff, announcements will be made on graphite-dev as things get completed. This has been the top item on my todo list for a few months now, the reason it hasn't gotten enough attention lately though is because of all the other top items on my todo list :)

Also search this forum, there have been many questions & detailed answers given about carbon-relay and federated storage in the past, most of which should still be applicable.

Thanks, read on that still have a slight issue I do not understand.

I have a master server running carbon-cache + webapp and carbon-relay, i have set the following carbon-relay config:

[mypreciousmetric]
pattern = ^mypreciousmetric.*
servers = remoteserver.fqdn

# You must have exactly one section with 'default = true'
[default]
default = true
servers = localhost

On the remote server, i have carbon-cache running and gathering mypreciousmetric, I see it in the whisper cache.

When going to the webapp server, mypreciousmetric is not showing, have I missed something simple?

Thanks in advance.

I had missed the point of carbon-relay feeding the data to the remote cache, I have now done that and it works nicely.
