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 la-
     tency 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.
