New question #247784 on Graphite: https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/247784
Hi, I've been searching a lot and tried almost every graphite function available, but no help yet. I am sending metrics via collectd to graphite every minute and not using the "StoreRates" feature of collectd, so the values arrive as correct counter values. For some metrics I do have very slowly incrementing counters ---snippet from wsp file--- # whisper-dump.py /var/lib/carbon/whisper/mobile/collectd/rz46/dbmaster46-1/mysql/status/counter/slow_queries/value.wsp | head -n 50 Meta data: aggregation method: sum max retention: 34560000 xFilesFactor: 0 Archive 0 info: offset: 52 seconds per point: 60 points: 10080 retention: 604800 size: 120960 ... Archive 0 data: 0: 1398553560, 1822 1: 1398553620, 1823 2: 1398553680, 1823 3: 1398553740, 1823 4: 1398553800, 1823 5: 1398553860, 1823 6: 1398553920, 1823 7: 1398553980, 1823 8: 1398554040, 1823 9: 1398554100, 1823 10: 1398554160, 1823 11: 1398554220, 1824 12: 1398554280, 1824 13: 1398554340, 1824 14: 1398554400, 1824 15: 1398554460, 1824 16: 1398554520, 1824 17: 1398554580, 1824 18: 1398554640, 1824 19: 1398554700, 1824 20: 1398554760, 1824 21: 1398554820, 1825 22: 1398554880, 1825 --- end of snippet --- When displaying the counter this results in some kind of a step function, which breaks the typical "nonNegativeDerivative" approach for getting a rate out of this counter, because the function is not continuous on every re-occuring value and so I only get useless spikes as rates. Is there any way to overcome this problem like "ignore/remove all repeated values and then derive"? Thanks for your help and sorry if I missed some simple solution.
