Question #680604 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/680604

    Status: Open => Answered

Felix Sperling proposed the following answer:
Hi David,

creating new whisper metrics is kind of expensive and therefore there is a limit in the configuration.
See /etc/carbon.conf and MAX_CREATES_PER_MINUTE
It depends on how many new metrics you send in your metrics.txt. If you send 200 new ones but your limit is 50 then the other 150 will be dropped silently. When you send the second time / the next minute 50 more will be created.

Cheers,
Felix
