New question #252503 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/252503

Hi. 

We have Graphite running in our company for over a year, and we capture large scale stats. ServerG that receives the metrics stores the metrics here:

/opt/graphite/storage/whisper/

Recently, we noticed that a metric that was being sent into Graphite was inaccessible on the Web App, and we found that the whisper path to it had gotten owned by root, in a very strange permission set u=-wx i.e. 300. We do not have any process other than carbon tha touches the whisper directories. 

Yesterday, I installed stats collection on a new server, and half the stats are accesisble on front end, i.e. they have correct, read permissions, and the other half have no read permissions to the whisper directories. 

How is this possible? Especially, only for few metrics? 

We have a single Carbon daemon, running under the root user. 

I'd appreciate if you have come across this before and solved it.

Thanks.
