DESCRIPTION
Match against exponential weighted average of last samples, thus new values are more valuable as old ones. Two thresholds - rising and falling - produce hysteresis loop like in RMON alert subsystem. If the average reaches the ``rising'' threshold, matcher go to the ``match'' state and hold It until the average drops under the ``falling'' threshold.Call the matcher with the following sequence:
type = matcher
pattern = CheckLoss(hist => <hist>, rising=><rising> \
[,falling => <falling>] [,skip=><stat>] [,fast=><fast>])
Arguments:
hist - number of samples to weight against; weight will be disposed with
exponetial decreasing manner from newest to oldest, so that the
oldest sample would have 1% significance;
rising - rising threshold for packet loss, 0-100%
falling - falling threshold for packet loss, default is <rising>
skip - skip <skip> number of samples after startup before ``fire'' alerts.
fast - use <fast> samples for fast transition: if the values of last <fast>
samples more then <rising> - take ``match'' state, if less then
<falling> - take ``no match'' state.
Note:
If the actual history is less then <hist> value then this value is taken
as the actual history.
