NAME¶
Smokeping::matchers::Avgratio - detect changes in average median latency
OVERVIEW¶
The Avgratio matcher establishes a historic average median latency over several measurement rounds. It compares this average, against a second average latency value again build over several rounds of measurement.
DESCRIPTION¶
Call the matcher with the following sequence:
type = matcher pattern = Avgratio(historic=>a,current=>b,comparator=>o,percentage=>p)
- historic
- The number of median values to use for building the 'historic' average.
- current
- The number of median values to use for building the 'current' average.
- comparator
- Which comparison operator should be used to compare current/historic with percentage.
- percentage
- Right hand side of the comparison.
old <--- historic ---><--- current ---> now
EXAMPLE¶
Take build the average median latency over 10 samples, use this to divide the current average latency built over 2 samples and check if it is bigger than 150%.
Avgratio(historic=>10,current=>2,comparator=>'>',percentage=>150); avg(current)/avg(historic) > 150/100
This means the matcher will activate when the current latency average is more than 1.5 times the historic latency average established over the last 10 rounds of measurement.
