Hello
Not a direct graphite question. I was wondering as to what is the standard best 
practice for storing counter values to a time series database. Should it be a 
constantly increasing value like 10, 20, 30 showing at each time the total 
value of that counter. Or should it be 10, 10, 10 showing the value of the 
counter during that particular time interval and then resetting it to 0 once 
that value has been reported to the TSDB. The problem with the first approach 
is that with a server restart etc. this counter value will be reset to 0 also 
as some point the counter value might overflow.
