Question #148743 on Graphite changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/148743
Dave Rawks posted a new comment: Just wanted to chime in to say that I think this is a useful addition. Not everyone has the luxury of getting their metrics as "gauges", first order derivatives. Especially if you are already getting data via something counter based, opennms, snmp, etc.. And even those who would like to convert to using "gauge" instead of counter may have a large backlog of existing metrics and not have the desire to go back and calculate a derivative and reinject into carbon. Plus the conversion from gauge to counter is inherently lossy since you can always calculate the rate from the counter, but not vice versa. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of graphite-dev, which is an answer contact for Graphite. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~graphite-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~graphite-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
