New question #183019 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/183019

I'm a little confused between the documentation and how the software is 
installed.  The documentation talks about schema files in 
/usr/local/graphite/storage/schema but I have no such directory as graphite has 
installed in /opt/graphite.  I do have a storage directory  but no schema files.

Earlier the installation talks about /opt/graphite/conf/storage-schemas.conf 
and it's not clear to me if THIS is the schema and you simply append stanzas to 
it OR if you create separate schema files.  Further, since the instructions 
tell you to generate some data before talking about schema files, the 
implication to me is graphite knows what to do with the data w/o the schema 
files.

As for the schema.conf file, since I want to send data every 10 seconds and 
retain it for a week, should it look like this:

[everything_10sec_1week]
priority = 100
pattern = .*
retentions = 10:60480

The reason I ask is when I tried sending data to graphite via collectl it 
happily created a bunch of files in  /opt/graphite/storage/whisper that are 
named for my metrics.

Finally, how does one verify the data is actually being stored somewhere?
