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

    Status: Answered => Open

Joshua Cody is still having a problem:
Thanks, Daniel. it turns out stats_counts was what I needed, then I
needed to widen the graph or dial-down the length of time I was
sampling. The IRC channel was a big help.

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:
>>

>> 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

>> Even when I widen the graphs or remove the deploys, I get a ton of the same. And when looking at my formatted JSON data, this is what things look like: http://d.pr/i/IEB8
