Hello,

I have a logstash configuration using metrics of the below form;  
meter =\> ["%{component}.%{host}.%{http\_api}.%{http\_status}"]  
**For example:**  
component,host,http\_api,http\_status from my dataset will be  
usermanagement,localhost,loginUser,SUCCESS  
usermanagement,localhost,loginUser,ERROR

When i use a single metric plugin using a meter as show above, things work perfectly. I get the right numbers for http\_status (count, rates..) etc and able to send to graphite db.

However for an experimentation, I wanted to use multiple metrics to bring in different dimensions into graphite..  
Example;  
metrics {  
meter =\> ["%{component}.%{http\_status}"]  
add\_tag =\> "metric1"  
}

metrics {  
meter =\> ["%{component}.%{http\_api}.%{http\_status}"]  
add\_tag =\> "metric2"  
}

metrics {  
meter =\> ["%{host}.%{http\_api}.%{http\_status}"]  
add\_tag =\> "metric3"  
}

When I execute logstash with multiple metrics as show above, I notice problems with whisper files getting created in the graphite backend. i.e For a http\_status = "ERROR" i dont see any count.wsp files at all.. I dont know the exact reason at some levels I see the \*.wsp files and at some level, they are missing. This was not the case when I used a single metric and meter.

Appreciate some insight to this problem and what I should be looking into next?  
Is it something to do with carbon-cache configuration setting?

Thanks.
