https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/200716

using and loving graphite for monitoring a set of systems in AWS. i have a lot of data going in to it and i'm really happy with everything with one exception.

at any given time i only have a handful of hosts, but they are periodically replaced as part of rolling upgrades. the issue i'm having when i graph host-specific data (cpu from diamond for instance) using wildcards (e.g. servers.web-*.cpu.total.idle) the legend lists every host we've ever had. they change frequently enough that i don't want to have to edit to graphs to add/remove the hosts each time. as is i can tell if there's a problem with a host(s,) but it's nearly impossible to tell which one. 

is there a way to only graph/use datasets that have data during the current time interval?
