Question #204233 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/204233

    Status: Open => Answered

Nicholas Leskiw proposed the following answer:
averageSeries() is not a moving average.  It's an average of all the metrics passed.  It should not be used on a single metric.  Use movingAverage() instead.  Also check graphite.readthedocs.org for more details on the functions. when you get there, click 'latest', and search for functions.

The line doesn't change but we the definition change to AverageSeries(Build.Pipelines.Metric) . When I use this link to view the value, http://graphite.tw.testttl.com/render?from=-200h&target=averageSeries(Build.Pipelines.Metric)&title=Testing&rawData=true , the output is as follows :
>averageSeries(Build.Pipelines.Metric),1343215320,1343287320,60|None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None,None
