graphite\carbon cant understand how to feed them - graphite

Question

so I wanted to start playing with it and test it, so i put this config:
storage-schemas.conf:
[short2]
pattern = ^short2\.
retentions = 10s:1m
storage-aggregation.conf
[sum]
pattern = \.count$
xFilesFactor = 0
aggregationMethod = sum
what I think that my config say:
get data every 10 seconds and save it to 1 minutes so total of 10 points will be saved
now if i go to
http://localhost/render/?target=short2.sum&format=json&from=-1h
I see many data with null values a lot more than 10,
ok so I give up on that, than I said let's try to feed it data once every 10 seconds, if i do
echo "short2.sum 22 `date +%s`" | nc -q0 127.0.0.1 2003
wait 11 seconds
echo "short2.sum 23 `date +%s`" | nc -q0 127.0.0.1 2003
now looking at the api I can see only the last point get registerd like:
[
null,
1464781920
],
[
null,
1464781980
],
[
null,
1464782040
],
[
null,
1464782100
],
[
23,
1464782160
],
now if I send it another point (a lot after 10 seconds)
echo "short2.sum 24 `date +%s`" | nc -q0 127.0.0.1 2003
this is what I get:
[
null,
1464781920
],
[
null,
1464781980
],
[
null,
1464782040
],
[
null,
1464782100
],
[
24,
1464782160
],
only once in a couple of tries I will see them count as new but they just overwriting each other instead of acting like new data

Actually:
[short2]
pattern = ^short2\.
retentions = 10s:1m
means: all metrics starts with short2. keep for 1 minute with 10 second resolution (each datapoint represents 10s). It also means if there are not defined other storage schemas for short2., it will have value only for 1 (last) minute.
