Graphite

how to cleanup the series list?

Asked by TTimo

How can I remove old/obsolete entries from my data list?

I tried deleting the content of storage/whisper/, but it looks like the series list is somewhere else, storage/graphite.db maybe?

The graphite browser is basically a filesystem browser rooted in $GRAPHITE_ROOT/storage/whisper/, so anything you delete under there should not show up in the graphite browser (but you must refresh the page if you have already expanded some tree nodes as they are cached).

The only exception to this is if you have put content in $GRAPHITE_ROOT/storage/rrd/ but this only matters if you actually put the content their yourself because graphite does not put anything in that directory by default. It is intended for integrating in your existing RRD files if you have any.

If you have deleted things from storage/whisper/ and you still see them showing up in the graphite browser I would double-check that you are in the right directory, and maybe test this by doing "touch storage/whisper/test.wsp" and see if a 'test' node appears in your browser window. If it does not then you are in the wrong directory.

The storage/graphite.db file is only used to store user preferences and 'My Graphs', etc...

Can you help with this problem?
