New question #79783 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/79783

I've been playing with Graphite for a little over a week now evaluating it for a project here at work. I've been trying to figure out why a lower precision of data hasn't been available in graph or 'rawData=true' form. After reading question 38352 and the responses a light bulb went off above my head (and a slight face meeting the palm since I didn't figure it out earlier), but I want to make sure I've got this right. For the following schema entry :

[cnn_popularity]
priority = 100
pattern = ^com\.cnn\.popularity\.
retentions = 900:2924,3600:744

I'm not seeing things at the 3600 (hour) precision because the 15 minute level overlaps the time range that I'm asking for. Looking at the guts of whisper.py it looks like the case along with not really being able to extract information at a precision level at will. Is the proper schema pattern to only keep the 15 minute level of precision to a retention of four, hour to a retention of 24, then day would be seven, week would be four? Assuming that all I care about is 30 days worth of data at a maximum.
