Hi

I am using statsd to report aggregated metrics to graphite:

1/1/2000    metric1    12
2/1/2000    metric1    10

(each value is an average of metric1 in some period)

now when I want to calculate the average over all the period, I need to 
consider the number of events in each period (e.g a period with 10 events will 
affect the average more than one with three events). So I plan to report the 
number of events for this metrics separately and do a weighted average.

I expected that many people will need something like this but could not find 
too much online on this approach. Do I have a wrong requirement in some 
statistical aspect? Are there better ways to achieve it?

Thanks,
Yaron
