HI All,  
I had set up sensu and graphite successfully.

When i tried to set threshold values from graphite’s data ,i found link [https://sensuapp.org/docs/0.21/getting-started-with-checks](https://sensuapp.org/docs/0.21/getting-started-with-checks) from Sensu-Checks.

They clearly mentioned that check-graphite-data.rb script uses Graphite-API to query the metrics and get all the metric which are specified using " \* ".

But i haven’t installed Graphite-API .Do I need to install it.If yes ,please help me in providing the link.

Thanks in advance
