title: Graphite whisper losing old data
body: <p>My graphite whisper databases don't store data older than 7 days old. Using the <code>whisper-fetch.py</code> tool I can only see data up to 1 week back (when there should be data for at least 3 weeks at this point). I'm using grafana, statsd, graphite-web, carbon and whisper.</p>
  
  <p>An example of one of the metrics being truncated:</p>
  
  <p><code>stats.counters.api.create_order.pc.chrome</code></p>
  
  <p>This is my <code>storage-schemas.conf</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[carbon]
  pattern = ^carbon\.
  retentions = 10s:6h,1min:90d
  
  [default_1min_for_1day]
  pattern = .*
  retentions = 10s:6h,1min:6d,10min:5y
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is my <code>storage-aggregation.conf</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[min]
  pattern = \.lower$
  xFilesFactor = 0.1
  aggregationMethod = min
  
  [max]
  pattern = \.upper(_\d+)?$
  xFilesFactor = 0.1
  aggregationMethod = max
  
  [sum]
  pattern = \.sum$
  xFilesFactor = 0
  aggregationMethod = sum
  
  [count]
  pattern = \.count$
  xFilesFactor = 0
  aggregationMethod = sum
  
  [count_legacy]
  pattern = ^stats_counts.*
  xFilesFactor = 0
  aggregationMethod = sum
  
  [default_average]
  pattern = .*
  xFilesFactor = 0.3
  aggregationMethod = average
  </code></pre>
