    Status: Open => Answered

chrismd proposed the following answer:
Are the gaps regular or sporadic? If they are regular it is almost
certainly a mismatch between the schema configuration and the frequency
of datapoints being sent. I would recommend logging the data you are
sending to graphite so you can check that against the data showing up in
your graphs.

The reason you see smooth graphs when viewing certain time spans is
because when you are trying to view more data points than can fit in the
pixels of your graph, graphite aggregates datapoints by averaging them
together, which conceals the missing datapoints.
