Storage schema retention and aggregation

Question

In Graphite storage schema retention is configured as:

"10s:1d,1m:30d"

And aggregation methods of min, max, sum, average.

Question: When viewing the charts/graphs where you see what retention and aggregation method Graphite is using?

Answer 1

Graphite's retentions and aggregation methods are not visible on graphs because it doesn't belong to graphs - it belongs to individual metrics, and the graph can contain many metrics. You can run whisper-info.py a tool with metrics wsp-file - then you'll get which retention and aggregation it has. But usually, your wsp files have same retention / aggeregation which were described in configs.
