Update storage-aggregation.conf.example for #768 #899

Closed antonsoroko closed 4 years ago

antonsoroko commented 4 years ago

see #768

Previously for counters aggregationMethod was sum, now it is max https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon/commit/e4953da4a37c07177fdccb1abda3679e017a83e8

This is good for use case described in https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/286462 but wrong for statsd counters which are reset every (statsd) flush interval.

As I said 3 years ago - "max" is much more natural for counters.
