DESCRIPTION

       The tSmoke tool is a commandline tool which interfaces with the SmokePing system.  Its main function is to send a message indicating the
       current status of the systems being monitored by Smokeping or an HTML mail file containing the status over the past day, past week and past
       month including an overview.

       Typical crontab used to invoke this are

	# Quick morning alert to see what's down
	0 6 * * * /usr/local/smokeping/bin/tSmoke.pl --q --to=mobilephone@att.net.invalid --morning
	# Weekly report on the percent availability of network systems with no detail
	0 8 * * * /usr/local/smokeping/bin/tSmoke.pl --q --to=mailbox@company.com.invalid --weekly --detail=0

SETUP

       When installing tSmoke, some variables must be adjusted to fit your local system.

       We need to use the following libraries:

       Smokeping
       RRDTool Perl bindings
       Getopt::Long

       Set up your libraries:

	use lib "/usr/local/smokeping/lib";
	use lib "/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.39/lib/perl";

       Point to your Smokeping config file

	my $cfgfile = "/usr/local/smokeping/etc/config";

       Modify the Smokeping config file to include a path for tmail in the General section:

	tmail = /usr/local/smokeping/etc/tmail

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 largly imune 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.
