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 av-
     erage 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.
