Harvest metric empty

Hi all,

I have noticed some metrics from harvest are reported empty and I am not sure how to interpret them.

For example, I query graphite using :

http://myurl/render?target=netapp.perf.something.something.node.node1.processor.avg_processor_busy&from=-1h&until=now&format=csv

Some of the results are empty:

netapp.perf.something.something.node.node1.processor.avg_processor_busy,2019-03-30 03:56:00,
netapp.perf.something.something.node.node1.processor.avg_processor_busy,2019-03-30 03:57:00,

I am using graphite .9.12

My questions are:

Should I ignore the missing values and only use the values reported? or

Should I assume the empty metrics are zeros?

Why harvest is not reposting the values, but still reporing a empty with the time stamp?
