Hi @madden!
Thank you so much for concrete advice!
I noticed a lot of volumes were created last weekend by another team.
I misunderstanded whisper file size could grow for a lot of metrics every minute.
Now, I see that whisper don't grow if new metrics isn't come creating new matter like volume.
But I have another question.
I'd like to estimate how much size should I prepare for whisper data because it's not easy to expand graphite VM's volume in our production.
Could you tell me how should I calculate these sizes for new metrics in case it's typical matter on NetApp?
My current assumption in case just one iscsi volume is newly created on also new svm, is as follows.
- /var/lib/graphite/whisper/netapp/perf/
My current wsp file size is 2207584 byte.
One svm and one vol have 15 wsp file.
So I should estimate 2207584 * 15 = 33.11376 megabytes for new svm and volume.
If 1000 volume on 1000 svm is created per year, I have to prepare almost 33 GB per year.
For example:

Recently new file is not created. So I have no idea about this folder size.
Which case this folder grow?
