I have a counter at stats.message.foo
and want to move it to stats.messages.foo
.
I've updated my code to populate the new counter, however the old one still exists.
I've read all I need to do to remove a stat from graphite is to delete the appropriate whisper file on disk, however it seems that within a few seconds of removing the wsp
it gets regenerated (without data).
This is an annoyance if I want to rename the key that the data is stored under as I need to remember which key is the correct one.
Does anyone know how to permanently remove the old counter?
stats.message.foo
its because something, somewhere is still sending that metric. I'd be looking at your statsd setup.
