[Question #186036]: Prevent graphite from changing the resolution of the data pulled via the API

 

New question #186036 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/186036


Hello, 

Here is the problem: 

When Iam trying to pull the data from graphite via the api, graphite automatically changes the resolution of the data , i.e. from 60 seconds to 900 seconds. 

When I am requesting the data for the last 30 days:

https://graphite.hz.net/render?from=-30days&until=now&width=400&height=250&target=box007010158.*.*&uniq=0.5566281429491937&rawData=true

it returns 

box007010158.Cpu.ContextSwitches,1325098260,1327690260,60|None,None,None,None,1652252848.0,None,None,None,None,1654361836.0,None,None,None,None,1656283748.0,None,None,None,None,1658195654.0,None,None,None,None,1660111629.0,None,None,None,None,1662061799.0,None,None,None,None,1664063616.0,None,None,None,None,1666075550.0,None,None,None,None,1668046743.0,None ....

If you notice, only each fifth sample contains useful information.

However, once I decide to increase to pull more data, let's say for the last 4 months:

https://graphite.hz.net/render?from=-4months&until=now&width=400&height=250&target=box007010158.*.*&uniq=0.5566281429491937&rawData=true

graphite automatically scales down the resolution to 900 seconds, and as a result the data it returns becomes unusable, as it contains only 'Nones'.

box007010158.Cpu.ContextSwitches,1317322800,1327690800,900|
None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None


So the question is whether it is possible somehow to disable this feature ? 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers, D
