Question #232684 on Graphite changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/232684
Sjoerd Langkemper gave more information on the question: One way to solve this is to use the cumulative function, which can be found under "Apply Function" > "Special" > "Aggregate By Sum". The summarize function of course also works. The comments in the code says this about the cumulative function: By default, when a graph is drawn, and the width of the graph in pixels is smaller than the number of datapoints to be graphed, Graphite averages the value at each pixel. The cumulative() function changes the consolidation function to sum from average. This is especially useful in sales graphs, where fractional values make no sense (How can you have half of a sale?) I would suggest making this the default for whisper files that have 'sum' as aggregation method. Whisper-info.py shows aggregationMethod is "sum" for my archive. If I make a graph of that data, it makes sense that the data is summed in the graph. -- 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
