New question #162120 on Graphite: https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/162120
Using Carbon/Whisper/Graphite via PyPI, version 0.9.8, via Python 2.6.5 on Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit. I started out with the default storage-schemas.conf which sets retention to 60:1440, ran for a few days, and decided to switch out my retention period to something longer (specifically, 60:43200 -- a ~month of minutes). Found mention of whisper-resize.py being required to update Whisper archives after creation; executed it with the above new retention period; ran successfully. whisper-info.py shows the new retention information correctly. The problem: whisper-fetch.py still shows that the archive file I modified continues to limit itself to 1440 entries, with the oldest entries being recycled as before. I was expecting it to start growing and retaining the oldest entries (i.e. if the oldest entry at time of resize was dated yesterday at 14:40, it should have stuck around, but instead it was deleted.) Tried restarting my daemonized carbon-cache.py on the off chance it was caching the old retention info on its end somehow, but no dice. For now I will simply nuke my day's worth of retained data and have the files recreate themselves, but I'd like to know if there's something I'm missing about the use of whisper-resize.py. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of graphite-dev, which is an answer contact for Graphite. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~graphite-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~graphite-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
