Question #183019 on Graphite changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Michael Leinartas proposed the following answer:
You'll want to use the newer docs linked from the wiki at
http://readthedocs.org/docs/graphite/en/latest/install.html for
installation as the ones on the Wiki are quite out of date - the storage
schemas are in /opt/graphite/conf/storage-schemas.conf and yes, you
append new stanzas to it. The first pattern that matches is the one
that's applied, so be sure to replace the default or put it at the end
so it doesnt take precedence over your customizations.

This should give you more detail on storage-schemas:
http://readthedocs.org/docs/graphite/en/latest/config-carbon.html
#storage-schemas-conf

If carbon generated a bunch of *.wsp files in your storage directory,
you're already storing some data. You can spot check a few of the files
to ensure data is in them with the whisper-fetch.py command. By default
it will show you the last 24 hours of data stored in the file. If the
files were created before you added your storage-schema you'll need to
either remove them and allow them to be recreated (easier) or run
whisper-resize.py to resize them to your desired retention.
