Generally sending metricks to Graphite works, of cource. Metrics are successfully exported and displayed.

But there are many (tens of millions per day) invalid metricks.

Here are examples from Carbon listener.log with different formats:
Code:
01/03/2018 12:43:50 :: invalid line (proxmox.pve123.qemu.200000.template  1519897430) received from 10.10.10.101, ignoring
01/03/2018 12:43:50 :: invalid line (proxmox.pve123.qemu.300000.blockstat.scsi0.timed_stats ARRAY(0x55e93b718d10) 1519897430) received from 10.10.10.101, ignoring
01/03/2018 12:43:50 :: invalid line (proxmox.pve123.storages.pve02.some-ceph.type rbd 1519897430) received from 10.10.10.101, ignoring

According to Graphite documentation,
The data sent must be in the following format: <metric path> <metric value> <metric timestamp>.
