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.
