    Status: Open => Needs information

Denis Zhdanov requested more information:
Hello again Meir,

Did you install master or 0.9.x branch ?
Could you please put your configs here? You can skip comments from them, values only is enough.
BTW wikidot docs is ooooold - please use https://graphite.readthedocs.org/

But the main question is - did you run only one (single) carbon daemon and that's all? 
If yes - then you just ran out of it's capability.
How many metrics/minutes do you have?
Problem that Graphite is written in Python, so, any graphite daemon can't consume more than one core of CPU (it's oversimplification, but true for Graphite). That's why graphite has relay daemon - you can reroute metric to many carbon-cache daemons (on same host) - http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/carbon-daemons.html
You also can check that magnificent blog post http://grey-boundary.com/the-architecture-of-clustering-graphite/ for details.

Also storage is very important for Graphite. Where's your whisper files
located (/opt/graphite/storage/whisper)? I mean, same disk as OS,
separate disk?
