https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/163374

i'd like to put my web-server access-log data into graphite.
i simply want to put in the duration how long it took the webserver to process the request. the problem is that i have a lot of requests/second, let's say 50requests/second. how should i get this data into graphite? can i send in 50values for every second?
or, should i "summarize" the values for every second (let's say min/max/median/mean), and submit only those values to graphite for every second? what is the recommended approach?

thanks,
gabor
