New question #821867 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/821867

1. Iam trying to send test data 
graphite:~/graphite-docker$ echo "sensor.6 42.2 $(date +%s)" | nc localhost 2003
graphite:~/graphite-docker$ 

the files are not being created, Earlier when I tried sedning 2k_datapoints(which has timestamp of 2024) the values of each sensor was stored as 0,0 then I created carbon file with these configration, i will add them all below, please let me know what am I missing here 

✅ 1. docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

services:
  graphite:
    image: graphiteapp/graphite-statsd
    container_name: graphite
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "8080:80"                 # Web UI
      - "2003-2004:2003-2004"     # Carbon: plaintext + pickle
      - "2023-2024:2023-2024"     # Aggregator
      - "8125:8125/udp"           # StatsD UDP
      - "8126:8126"               # StatsD admin
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
    volumes:
      - ./graphite_data:/opt/graphite/storage
      - ./conf/carbon.conf:/opt/graphite/conf/carbon.conf
      - ./conf/storage-schemas.conf:/opt/graphite/conf/storage-schemas.conf
      - ./conf/local_settings.py:/opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/local_settings.py

  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana:latest
    container_name: grafana
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    depends_on:
      - graphite
    volumes:
      - grafana-storage:/var/lib/grafana

volumes:
  grafana-storage:
✅ 2. conf/carbon.conf

ENABLE_LOGROTATION = True
USE_CREATES = True
LOG_UPDATES = True
LOG_CACHE_HITS = True
LOG_CACHE_QUEUE_SORTS = True

WHISPER_FALLOCATE_CREATE = True
MAX_CREATES_PER_MINUTE = 1000

# ✅ Crucial for backdated data
ENABLE_OLD_TIMESTAMP_UPDATES = True
✅ 3. conf/storage-schemas.conf
[keep_1y_per_minute]
pattern = ^sensor\.
retentions = 60s:365d
✅ 4. conf/local_settings.py (optional but recommended)
python
# Make sure time zone is consistent
TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Berlin'

# Avoid cache conflicts
USE_REMOTE_USER_AUTHENTICATION = True
✅ 5. Folder Structure

graphite-docker/
│
├── docker-compose.yml
├── send_to_graphite_2kpoints.py
├── graphite_data/                # Mounted volume
│   └── (created at runtime)
├── conf/
│   ├── carbon.conf
│   ├── storage-schemas.conf
│   └── local_settings.py
🔁 After setting all files:
Run the following to clean up and restart from scratch:


docker compose down -v
sudo rm -rf graphite_data/*
docker compose up -d
Then test injection:

echo "sensor.6 42.2 $(date +%s)" | nc localhost 2003
Then check from container:


docker exec -it graphite bash
ls /opt/graphite/storage/whisper/sensor/
You should see 6.wsp. which Im not able to see
