great. Really helpful.

Nice! Thanks

great stuff

@drawks This wsgi.py file you have mentioned, it doesn't exist in the /opt/graphite/webapp directory, so do I have to add this file exclusively?

What is the point of https://gist.github.com/drawks/1830579#file-graphite-L7 when you are using 1 server? To be honest what is the point to have upstream at all?
