Values changed upon refresh

Asked by Vlad

I have a standard 0.9.10 graphite setup, data are getting in from statsd with a 1 second flush interval.

Depending of the displayed interval and the values of the metric, values change upon refresh.

whisper-info output :
maxRetention: 157680000
xFilesFactor: 0.0
aggregationMethod: average
fileSize: 2340064

Archive 0
retention: 86400
secondsPerPoint: 1
points: 86400
size: 1036800
offset: 64

Archive 1
retention: 604800
secondsPerPoint: 10
points: 60480
size: 725760
offset: 1036864

Archive 2
retention: 2592000
secondsPerPoint: 600
points: 4320
size: 51840
offset: 1762624

Archive 3
retention: 157680000
secondsPerPoint: 3600
points: 43800
size: 525600
offset: 1814464

I have attached example of displayed graph and associated raw data.
graph1 : http://img.ly/nXst
same graph upon refresh : http://img.ly/nXsx
same graph upon refresh: http://img.ly/nXsA

Raw data :
https://gist.github.com/3808245

URL used is : http://localhost/render/?target=stats_counts.test3&tz=Europe/Paris&from=-60minutes

I tried ajusting minXStep to 0 and the graph displays the proper values.
So I guess this is the exact same case than the third comment on https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/199322, but I'd like to make sure.

same graph upon refresh with minXStep : http://img.ly/nXsE

Change average to sum with whisper-resize.py and use the cumulative() function on the targets. Also setup storage-aggregation.conf to sum instead of average any counter metrics.
