Graphite: sumSeries function not working

I am struck in a problem:

I am sending data via command line using this command in every 1 second.

set -x; while true; do echo "System.monitoring.notification.like.1.failure $((RANDOM%1+1)) date +%s" | nc 127.0.0.1 2003; sleep 1; done

My data is going to graphite and metric is also created but still when I try to use sumSeries function on this data but its not returning me the total count as expected. 

sumSeries(System.monitoring.notification.like.1.failure)

Can you please help me with this.

Thanks

Solution

  • sumSeries(System.monitoring.notification.like.1.failure) will not return total count, and that's expected. Please see its documentation:

    "This will add metrics together and return the sum at each datapoint. (See integral for a sum over time)".

    So, probably you're looking for integral() instead - or even more probable, summarize().
