NAME
       Smokeping::matchers::Medratio - detect changes in the latency median

OVERVIEW
       The Medratio matcher establishes	a historic median latency over several
       measurement rounds. It compares this median, against a second median
       latency value again build over several rounds of	measurement.

       By looking at the median	value this matcher is largely immune against
       spikes and will only react to long term developments.

DESCRIPTION
       Call the	matcher	with the following sequence:

	type = matcher
	pattern	=  Medratio(historic=>a,current=>b,comparator=>o,percentage=>p)

       historic
	   The number of values	to use for building the	'historic' median.

       current
	   The number of values	to use for building the	'current' median.

       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  the 12 last median	values.	Build the median out of	the first 10
       and the median from the other 2 values. Divide the results and decide
       if it is	bigger than 150	percent.

	Medratio(historic=>10,current=>2,comparator=>'>',percentage=>150);

	med(current)/med(historic) > 150/100

       This means the matcher will activate when the current latency median is
       more than 1.5 times the historic	latency	median established over	the
       last 10 rounds of measurement.
