Intermittently not getting back data

[imduffy15]

I've been submitting metrics to OpenTSDB following this approach however, when I execute a query to get them back out they don't always appear.

If I wait a few hours or restart the container they start to appear.

Any idea how to resolve this? Seems very similar to this report https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44955738/data-not-showing-up-intermittently-on-the-opentsdb-ui

Usually, that relates to the opentsdb settings for flushing write data to the underlying storage system.

That should default to 1000 milliseconds according to http://opentsdb.net/docs/build/html/user_guide/configuration.html
