Troubleshooting

  • If I have trouble with my metrics, should I remove and re-add the Hosted Graphite plugin?
    No! Removing the Hosted Graphite plugin permanently deletes your metrics from Hosted Graphite. If you’re having trouble and can’t find help in these docs or our FAQ, then just get in touch. We’re happy to help.
