I want to delete the graphite's storage whisper's data but there ain't anything in the graphite docs.

One way I did is deleting the the files at /opt/graphite...../whispers/stats... manually.

But this is tedious, so how do I do it?

Currently, deleting files from /opt/graphite/storage/whisper/ is the correct way to clean up whisper data.

As for the tedious side of the process, you could use the find command if there is a certain pattern that your trying to remove.

find /opt/graphite/storage/whisper -name loadavg.wsp -delete
