Question #161034 on Graphite changed:

    Status: Needs information => Answered

Michael Janiszewski proposed the following answer:
StatsD averages over its reporting interval (10 seconds by default).  If
you're sending exactly one datapoint per metric every 10 seconds, you'll
need to pass in a sampling rate to StatsD to get it to behave correctly.
For the metric above, that would look something like

server.loadAvg.1min.ps23:0.12345|c|@0.1

Alternately, look at the stuff stored by default under stats_counts
instead of stats.  That's a straight sum per metric rather than the
average, which should work in your particular case because you're only
sending one value in each interval.
