New question #234874 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/234874

I am trying to keep track of the capacity usage as well as the number of files in each of the file shares I manage.

I have setup graphite with the following storage schema:
--------------
[carbon]
pattern = ^carbon\.
retentions = 60:90d

[default_1min_for_1day]
pattern = .*
retentions = 60s:1d

[hnas_stuff]
pattern = ^share\.hnas\.
retentions = 1d:3650d
---------------

I then have some perl code that creates connects to the carbon server via:
------
my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(
        PeerAddr => $carbon_server,
        PeerPort => 2003,
        Proto    => 'tcp'
    )
----

I build up the stats in a hash and then iterate over the hash:
$sock->send("$key " . $stats->{$key}. " $time\n") ;

so each share has 2 keys. The keys look like:
share.hnas.fsact00.AAHL-SHARE.used 
share.hnas.fsact00.AAHL-SHARE.files

My problem is that it is almost random as to which shares actually end up with 2 metrics in whisper. The number of shares that end up with all the metrics increase if I sleep for a second between socket send() calls. Some shares do not get any metrics at all.

I have been removing the whisper directory and re-running the script (with no sleep) and it seems to be creating exactly 49 files each run. with a one second sleep I get 139 files ( but I should get 160)

What am I doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help with this.
