Question #160576 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/160576

    Status: Answered => Open

Royce King is still having a problem:
So I guess the documentation on the page is incorrect then.

Here is an example of the 13-month retention example (giving you a month of
overlap when comparing metrics year-over-year):

*Note: Priority is not used. **
*Rules are applied in the order they appear in the file**

[everything_1min_13months]
priority = 100
pattern = .*
retentions = 60:565920


So how do I really change it to 13 months?  Do I need to blast my .wsp files
and start over?  We have been collecting for about 2 months now.
