[Question #170078]: sumSeries() and missing values

 

New question #170078 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/170078

I often create graphs using sumSeries() to do things like sumSeries(app.*.some.metric) to get a "global" count of some.metric. Often not all most-recent updates have made their way onto disk, and I end up with what looks like a catatastrophic dive (ascii-representation: \) at the right end of my graphs.  Is there some alternate way, with existing functions, to say "if any are NaN, then it's a NaN"? 

(yeah, I just realized this is risky 'cuz what if some nodes aren't reporting, but for the sake of knowledge, I'll keep my question open)

Alternative option I often use: end time = 10 minutes ago.  That's meh though.  Instead of telling noc monkeys to "not trust the last X of data", I just make the last X of data unavailable.
