Class DataProcessor

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ConsolFuns

    public class DataProcessor
    extends Object
    implements ConsolFuns
    Class which should be used for all calculations based on the data fetched from RRD files. This class supports ordinary DEF datasources (defined in RRD files), CDEF datasources (RPN expressions evaluation), SDEF (static datasources - extension of JRobin) and PDEF (plottables, see Plottable for more information.

    Typical class usage:

     final long t1 = ...
     final long t2 = ...
     DataProcessor dp = new DataProcessor(t1, t2);
     // DEF datasource
     dp.addDatasource("x", "demo.rrd", "some_source", "AVERAGE");
     // DEF datasource
     dp.addDatasource("y", "demo.rrd", "some_other_source", "AVERAGE");
     // CDEF datasource, z = (x + y) / 2
     dp.addDatasource("z", "x,y,+,2,/");
     // ACTION!
     dp.processData();
     // Dump calculated values
     System.out.println(dp.dump());

    • Method Detail

      • isPoolUsed

        public boolean isPoolUsed()
        Returns boolean value representing RrdDbPool usage policy.
        Returns:
        true, if the pool will be used internally to fetch data from RRD files, false otherwise.
      • setPoolUsed

        public void setPoolUsed​(boolean poolUsed)
        Sets the RrdDbPool usage policy.
        Parameters:
        poolUsed - true, if the pool should be used to fetch data from RRD files, false otherwise.
      • setPixelCount

        public void setPixelCount​(int pixelCount)
        Sets the number of pixels (target graph width). This number is used only to calculate pixel coordinates for JRobin graphs (methods getValuesPerPixel(String) and getTimestampsPerPixel()), but has influence neither on datasource values calculated with the processData() method nor on aggregated values returned from getAggregates(String) and similar methods. In other words, aggregated values will not change once you decide to change the dimension of your graph.

        The default number of pixels is defined by constant DEFAULT_PIXEL_COUNT and can be changed with a setPixelCount(int) method.

        Parameters:
        pixelCount - The number of pixels. If you process RRD data in order to display it on the graph, this should be the width of your graph.
      • getPixelCount

        public int getPixelCount()
        Returns the number of pixels (target graph width). See setPixelCount(int) for more information.
        Returns:
        Target graph width
      • setStep

        public void setStep​(long step)
        Roughly corresponds to the --step option in RRDTool's graph/xport commands. Here is an explanation borrowed from RRDTool:

        "By default rrdgraph calculates the width of one pixel in the time domain and tries to get data at that resolution from the RRD. With this switch you can override this behavior. If you want rrdgraph to get data at 1 hour resolution from the RRD, then you can set the step to 3600 seconds. Note, that a step smaller than 1 pixel will be silently ignored."

        I think this option is not that useful, but it's here just for compatibility.

        Parameters:
        step - Time step at which data should be fetched from RRD files. If this method is not used, the step will be equal to the smallest RRD step of all processed RRD files. If no RRD file is processed, the step will be roughly equal to the with of one graph pixel (in seconds).
      • getStep

        public long getStep()
        Returns the time step used for data processing. Initially, this method returns zero. Once processData() is finished, the method will return the real value used for all internal computations. Roughly corresponds to the --step option in RRDTool's graph/xport commands.
        Returns:
        Step used for data processing.
      • getFetchRequestResolution

        public long getFetchRequestResolution()
        Returns desired RRD archive step (reslution) in seconds to be used while fetching data from RRD files. In other words, this value will used as the last parameter of RrdDb.createFetchRequest() method when this method is called internally by this DataProcessor.
        Returns:
        Desired archive step (fetch resolution) in seconds.
      • setFetchRequestResolution

        public void setFetchRequestResolution​(long fetchRequestResolution)
        Sets desired RRD archive step in seconds to be used internally while fetching data from RRD files. In other words, this value will used as the last parameter of RrdDb.createFetchRequest() method when this method is called internally by this DataProcessor. If this method is never called, fetch request resolution defaults to 1 (smallest possible archive step will be chosen automatically).
        Parameters:
        fetchRequestResolution - Desired archive step (fetch resoltuion) in seconds.
      • getEndingTimestamp

        public long getEndingTimestamp()
        Returns ending timestamp. Basically, this value is equal to the ending timestamp specified in the constructor. However, if the ending timestamps was zero, it will be replaced with the real timestamp when the processData() method returns. The real value will be calculated from the last update times of processed RRD files.
        Returns:
        Ending timestamp in seconds
      • getTimestamps

        public long[] getTimestamps()
                             throws RrdException

        Returns:

      • get95Percentile

        public double get95Percentile​(String sourceName)
                               throws RrdException
        This method is just an alias for getPercentile(String) method.

        Used by ISPs which charge for bandwidth utilization on a "95th percentile" basis.

        The 95th percentile is the highest source value left when the top 5% of a numerically sorted set of source data is discarded. It is used as a measure of the peak value used when one discounts a fair amount for transitory spikes. This makes it markedly different from the average.

        sourceName - Datasource name
        Returns:

        Throws:
        RrdException - Thrown if invalid source name is supplied
      • getPercentile
