NAME

       Smokeping::matchers::ExpLoss - exponential weighting matcher for packet
       loss with RMON-like thresholds


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 = ExpLoss(hist => <hist>, rising=><rising> \
                         [,falling => <falling>] [,skip=><stat>] [,fast=><fast>])

       Arguments:
        hist    - number of samples to weight against; weight will be disposed
       with
                  exponential 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.
