New question #281061 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/281061

I'm setting up Graphite to monitor hosts/apps in a cloud environment. We want the hostname/ip be part of each metric, but our apps get new hosts/ip's with regular intervals. This makes the Whisper database grow out-of-hand. 
How can this be handled?
Is there a way to relate host/ip to a metric without making it part of the metric name?
Is there a recommended alternative to Whisper as storage backend that does not pre-allocate disk in the same way as Whisper?

Thanks / Jonas
