Performance data is discarded from Graphite after 6 hours

In storage-schemas.conf in your carbon config folder, first match wins. So in this case, your default_1min_for_1day entry is hitting before your Icinga entries. You’ll want to move those up.

Something that might catch you off guard if you’re new to graphite is that your whisper database will not update the retention automatically as that’s set in the metadata of the whisper files. You can see this by using whisper-info.py on any given value.wsp. If it’s a new setup, I’d just go ahead and start over. Otherwise, the whisper-resize.py script is available.

Not sure if this is the entire reason why the perf data are only kept for 6 hours, but it’s a start.
