Grafana Question: Graphing a trace does not seem to work about docker-grafana-graphite HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello Jake,

There is no Kamon or Grafana problem in you example as far as I see it, but maybe a misunderstanding on how your actors should behave. When you send the 5000 thousand messages to Ponger on Pinger's preStart, all of those TraceContexts start pretty much at the same time. At this point, you have 5000 messages waiting on Ponger's mailbox to be processed, then your Ponger actor will take the first of those messages, wait (let's say, around 300ms) and respond to Pinger which will finish the context and measure the elapsed time. Since actors process only one message at a time and you still have 4999 messages in the mailbox, by the time the Ponger actor takes the second message it has already been there for ~300ms + ~300ms for it's own sleep, gives you ~600ms elapsed time for the second trace, and that will continue to grow with each message. That's why you see that line only going up, because the elapsed times of traces are actually going up.

Let us know if you need any more help, regards!

Well, don't I look like a fool. Thanks for the help, I'll spend some time with a rubber ducky next time I have an issue.
