Graphite

setting time-width of data points?

Asked by Dave Gilbert

Hi,
  I feed my graphite from two sources:
1) collectl - which works great
2) and a script that feeds data to port 2003 that runs off a cron.

The data points from (2) show as points rather than a solid line in graphite.

This script runs about every 10mins, and injects ping results and temperatures and the like; I think
from looking at the graph, graphite is only taking these values as being 1minute wide rather than
joining them together.

How do I fix that?

Thanks,

Dave

Solved thanks to KarlHungus/dieterbe on irc:

The width needs to be described in the storage-schemas.conf; (in my case I'd screwed up the pattern and forgotten to \ one of the .'s)
whisper-resize can then be used on the data files (on my debian build in /var/lib/graphite/whisper) to change their time/length.
Oh, and then check the ownership is still correct on those files.
