     <p>
+    The default <code>percentiles</code> setting on the <complink name="Backend Listener"/> is "90;95;99", 
+    i.e. the 3 percentiled 90%, 95% and 99%.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    The <a href="http://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/feeding-carbon.html#step-1-plan-a-naming-hierarchy">Graphite naming hierarchy</a>
+    uses dot (".") to separate elements. This could be confused with decimal percentile values.
+    JMeter converts any such values, replacing dot (".") with underscore ("-"). 
+    For example, "<code>99.9</code>" becomes "<code>99_9</code>"
+    </p>
+    <p>
     By default JMeter sends only metrics for all samplers using "<code>all</code>" as samplerName.
