So right now I wrote a python script that parses out my apache log for time taken to respond for certain url's and then send it to carbon.


Since we have so many requests a sec, it is possible that we are getting the same url multiple times with the same exact timestamp.

When it is sent over to carbon with the same timestamp, what happens does it overwrite the last one?  So say I have a metric sent 4 times with same exact timestamp it uses the last one?  

I set it in carbon to do 1 second, but is it possible I need to do it maybe even smaller though I know it not possible.
