Hi.

We have some counter for the number of function calls that are sent to the graphite.
The rate is almost the same, so we may treat it as a constant.

We have the following retention rules:

retentions = 60:10080,300:8640,900:34560,1800:86400
So we have one week with 1m data, next month of 5m data, and so on.

If I use any integral function ("integral" of "summarize") it works in such a way:

integral(series)&from=-1d   -> calculate number of events for the last day
integral(series)&from=-6d   ->    -//-  for the last 6 days

when i use 7d (or 1w), it starts using 5m-data. If I'm not mistaken, it just sums all values, and as the number of values is 5 times less, so the summ is 5 times less than real value.

I've made a screenshots with examples:

The "6d" integral is about 7.2M, so "1w" should be about 7.2M/6 *7 = 8.4M, but it shows  1.7M (=8.4M/5).

I suppose the same problem occurs on the "1m" boundary and "1y" boundary.

What am I doing wrong? Should I change smth in config files or smth?

My usual usecase is to check the following graphs:
summarize(series,"1d")&from = -1w    (  and also from=-1m)
summarize(series,"1m")&from = -3m   (  and also from=-1y)
etc.

How should I do this?

Best,
Ivan.
