NAME
     Smokeping::matchers::Median - Find persistent changes in latency

OVERVIEW
     The idea behind this matcher is to find sustained changes in latency.

     The median matcher takes a number of past median latencies. It splits the
     latencies into two groups (old and new) and again finds the median for each
     groups. If the difference between the two medians is bigger than a certain
     value, it will give a match.

DESCRIPTION
     Call the matcher with the following sequence:

      type = matcher
      pattern =  Median(old=>x,new=>y,diff=>z)

     This will create a matcher which consumes x+y latency-datapoints, builds
     the two medians and the matches if the difference between the median la-
     tency is larger than z seconds.
