If you need to adjust the xFilesFactor value for existing metrics, employ the whisper-resize.py tool:

$ sudo su -c "umask 0033; whisper-resize.py --xFilesFactor=0.0 --nobackup \
  /data/whisper/pulse/amqp-publishes-per-second.wsp 1s:5m 1m:1d 5m:28d 15m:1y" carbon

Django DB

1	# carbon
2	cd ../../
3	sudo ./bin/carbon-cache.py start
4	## it will listen on 2003 port
5	 
6	# graphite web ui
7	cd webapp/graphite
8	python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Create a superuser for the DB:

python manage.py createsuperuser --username=joe --email=joe@example.com

Create a basic user for the DB:

python manage.py shell
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> user = User.objects.create_user('john', 'lennon@thebeatles.com', 'johnpassword')

# At this point, user is a User object that has already been saved
# to the database. You can continue to change its attributes
# if you want to change other fields.
>>> user.last_name = 'Lennon'
>>> user.save()

List all users defined into the DB:

python manage.py shell
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 14 2012, 08:58:41) [GCC] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
>>> User.objects.filter(first_name='')
[<User: root>, <User: default>, <User: manu>]
>>> User.objects.filter(is_superuser='true')
[<User: root>, <User: manu>]

Change a user password

python manage.py shell
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> u = User.objects.get(username__exact='john')
>>> u.set_password('new password')
>>> u.save()
