rolling-window


Implements "Reset reservoir periodically by chunks" strategy to use hdr-histogram-js for monitoring. Inspired by vladimir-bukhtoyarov/rolling-metrics. No additional dependencies.

See rolling-metrics' documentation for the background.

Install

With hdr-histogram-js@2:

``sh
npm install -S hdr-histogram-js @shuhei/rolling-window
`

With hdr-histogram-js@1:

`sh
npm install -S hdr-histogram-js@1 @shuhei/rolling-window@^0.2.1
`

Usage

`js
const { RollingWindowHistogram } = require("@shuhei/rolling-window");

// This configuration creates 7 internal histograms (6 + 1) and rotates them
// one by one in each 10 seconds. getSnapshot() returns a histogram of the
// last 60 to 70 seconds. These additional 0 to 10 seconds make sure that the
// rolling window can provide a fresh histogram without losing any records at
// any given time.
const rollingWindowHistogram = new RollingWindowHistogram({
timeWindow: 1000 * 60,
numChunks: 6,
});

// Record a value
rollingWindowHistogram.recordValue(value);

// Get a snapshot
const snapshot = rollingWindowHistogram.getSnapshot();
const p99 = snapshot.getValueAtPercentile(99);
`

API

$3

- options
- timeWindow: number The length of a time window in milliseconds. Default: 60000
- numChunks: number The number of chunks in the time window. Default: 6
- buildHistogram: () => Histogram A factory function to create a histogram. This will be called multiple times to prepare necessary histograms in the rolling window. Use this to provide custom options to histograms. Default: build from hdr-histogram-js

Creates a rolling window histogram with numChunks + 1 histograms in it and starts rotating chunks with an interval of timeWindow / numChunks.

$3

Stop the rotation timer. When you stop using a rolling window histogram, make sure to call this method to avoid memory leak.

$3

- value: number A numerical value to record. It must not be negative.

$3

- snapshot: Histogram A histogram to accumulate histograms. It is reset before accumulating histograms. If this is not provided, a Histogram is created and kept for reuse.
- Returns: Histogram`
