Hello:

Basic questions- I have graphite up and working, and now I have graphiti installed on the same host. However, I can see any of my metrics and I'm wondering how graphiti knows where my metrics are.

The settings.yml has:
------------------------------------------------------
graphite_host: myhost.com

default_metrics:
- "metrics.gauge"

metric_prefix: "metrics"
----------------------------------------------------------------
which seem like the things I need to set, but I don't yet understand how it's reading my metrics in Graphite.

I've changed the prefix since we are using metricsd to front Graphite... but I'm stuck at having no data in Graphiti, so I can't really create any interesting graphs.

Anyone have a moment to provide a pointer or two?
