Question #186650 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/186650

    Status: Open => Answered

Michael Leinartas proposed the following answer:
Graphite doesn't do that sort of aggregation out of box very well. It is
technically possible to do it using carbon-aggregator (at least the
version in trunk), but it's not well suited to the task.

Most people are using statsd or a clone of it to do this. Statsd
received UDP packets with metrics sent in a simple text protocol
(similar to graphite's) that identifies the values as either counts (to
be summed) or timings (to be averaged) and flushes the aggregated
metrics to graphite periodically.

This is a good list of implementations to choose from:
