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.
