title: StatsD and Graphite issues with stats_counts metrics
body: <p>I'm having issues with the <strong>stats_counts</strong> metrics which whipser saves. </p>
  
  <p>In my app I'm firing two kind of metrics in the same time: Counter increment + Time.
  When I compare the specific metrics graphs: stats_counts + "count" of the timer I get the same results for 4 hours approx but when looking on greater period - say 12 hours, I can see great differences. </p>
  
  <p>I've found this post:<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7099197/tracking-metrics-using-statsd-via-etsy-and-graphite-graphite-graph-doesnt-se">Tracking metrics using StatsD (via etsy) and Graphite, graphite graph doesn&#39;t seem to be graphing all the data</a>
  But it didn't helped me.</p>
  
  <p>It seems to me that it is a configuration problem, but I can't understand what's the problem.</p>
  
  <p>This is how my configurations files looks:</p>
  
  <p><strong>storage-schemas.conf:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>[stats]
  priority = 110
  pattern = ^stats\..*
  retentions = 10s:6h,1m:7d,10m:1y
  
  [stats_counts]
  priority = 110
  pattern = ^stats_counts\..*
  retentions = 10s:6h,1m:7d,10m:1y
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>storage-aggregation.conf:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>[min]
  pattern = \.min$
  xFilesFactor = 0.1
  aggregationMethod = min
  
  [max]
  pattern = \.max$
  xFilesFactor = 0.1
  aggregationMethod = max
  
  [sum]
  pattern = \.count$
  xFilesFactor = 0
  aggregationMethod = sum
  
  [stats_counts]
  pattern = ^stats_counts\.
  xFilesFactor = 0
  aggregationMethod = sum
  
  [default_average]
  pattern = .*
  xFilesFactor = 0.3
  aggregationMethod = average
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see I have "stats_counts" rule for aggregation but it seems that it isn't working so good, any idea what am I missing? maybe the syntax of the Regex which I wrote there isn't good: ^stats_counts. </p>
