Metrics ending in
.count
are usually used for timers in StatsD, andthere is some specific Graphite storage aggregation configuration for
them [1].
Sum isn't the correct aggregation method for these counts, and the
xFilesFactor needs to be lower to allow keeping the data for longer
than 8 days, so just change the metric name so that it's treated like
other gauges.
