title: Graphite & statsd generating many nodes
body: <p>I just installed Graphite &amp; statsd to get some statistics for my web-application. It already tracks the data, but it generates way too many nodes inside the Graphite webapp's tree. See attached image:

  <p>I already googled but I couldn't find any explanation for this. I only want to track how many times my index page was accessed. I do this in Python with the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>statsd.incr('mmeg.de.aufrufe.index')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anybody have an explanation for this? Why are there so many (different) graphs? I thought there would be just one graph showing me how many times my index page was accessed over time.?</p>
