#### Get Shorter legend names - alias() function to specify a custom series name - aliasByNode(2) to alias by a specific part of your metric path - groupByNode(2, 'sum') is useful if you have 2 wildcards in your metric path and want to sumSeries and group by. #### Series as parameter - Some graphite functions allow you to have many series arguments - Use #[A-Z] to use a graphite query as parameter to a function - Examples: - asPercent(#A, #B) - divideSeries(#A, #B) If a query is added only to be used as a parameter, hide it from the graph with the eye icon #### Max data points - Every graphite request is issued with a maxDataPoints parameter - Graphite uses this parameter to consolidate the real number of values down to this number - If there are more real values, then by default they will be consolidated using averages - This could hide real peaks and max values in your series - You can change how point consolidation is made using the consolidateBy graphite function - Point consolidation will effect series legend values (min,max,total,current) - if you override maxDataPoint and set a high value performance can be severely effected #### Documentation links: [Grafana's Graphite Documentation](http://docs.grafana.org/features/datasources/graphite) [Official Graphite Documentation](https://graphite.readthedocs.io)
