New question #148743 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/148743

Is there a function (existing or planned) for an more intelligent scale()? For example, I want "events per minute".  My near-term storage resolution is 300 seconds, so I scale by 0.2.  If I expand that graph to 30 days and go past my near-term storage, I have to recalculate the scale based on the mid-term storage interval.  The problem is I don't really know which bucket it's going to use, as storage policies and requested start/end times vary. 

Something like scaleSeconds(nonNegativeDerivative(some.counter),60) would examine which storage bucket it's using, and result in 0.2 if 300 second resolution, 1 for 60 second resolution, and 30 for 1800 second resolution.  Does this make sense?

I am clueful enough to contribute patches.
