Question #209895 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/209895

    Status: Open => Answered

Daniel Schauenberg proposed the following answer:
Hi Joshua,

that sounds like you're not sending enough stats. StatsD averages the received
metrics over the flush interval (default 10 seconds) so when you're sending
less than 10 metrics during one flush period, you will end up with values below
1. For counters the absolut received value is also sent under the
`stats_counts.` namespace. Also note that `stats.` is added by StatsD itself,
so the example you posted would end up under
`stats.stats.business.users.sign_in`.

There's also a StatsD mailing list at statsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if you have more
questions about it. Or hop into #statsd on freenode.

Cheers,
Daniel

>It's my first time trying to set up Graphite, and I seem to be having an issue. Most of my calls ATM are using the statsd-ruby gem (https://github.com/github/statsd-ruby) in my Rails app, via the .increment call. So .increment("stats.business.users.sign_in") is what I'm looking to do. In addition, I'm plotting deploys with a drawAsInfinite line. So my whole url looks like this:

>http://graphite.host/render?target=drawAsInfinite(color(stats.timers.stack.web.deploy_times.count,%20%22darkgray%22))&height=250&title=Sign+Ins&width=600&target=stats.business.users.sign_in

>And the graphs **look** all right so far as the actual shape of the line, but they're plotted from 0-1 on the y-axis. Here is an example: http://d.pr/i/bwph
