DataProcessor (RRD4J 2.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.rrd4j.data.DataProcessor

public class DataProcessor
extends Object

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 Rrd4j) 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());

- Constructor Detail
  - DataProcessor
```
public DataProcessor(long t1,
             long t2)
```
    Creates new DataProcessor object for the given time span. Ending timestamp may be set to zero. In that case, the class will try to find the optimal ending timestamp based on the last update time of RRD files processed with the processData() method.
    
    Parameters:
    t1 - Starting timestamp in seconds without milliseconds
    t2 - Ending timestamp in seconds without milliseconds
  - DataProcessor
```
public DataProcessor(Date d1,
             Date d2)
```
    Creates new DataProcessor object for the given time span. Ending date may be set to null. In that case, the class will try to find optimal ending date based on the last update time of RRD files processed with the processData() method.
    
    Parameters:
    d1 - Starting date
    d2 - Ending date
  - DataProcessor
```
public DataProcessor(Calendar gc1,
             Calendar gc2)
```
    Creates new DataProcessor object for the given time span. Ending date may be set to null. In that case, the class will try to find optimal ending date based on the last update time of RRD files processed with the processData() method.
    
    Parameters:
    gc1 - Starting Calendar date
    gc2 - Ending Calendar date
- 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 Rrd4j 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 (resolution) 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 resolution) 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()
```
    Returns consolidated timestamps created with the processData() method.
    
    Returns:
    array of timestamps in seconds
  - getValues
```
public double[] getValues(String sourceName)
```
    Returns calculated values for a single datasource. Corresponding timestamps can be obtained from the getTimestamps() method.
    
    Parameters:
    sourceName - Datasource name
    
    Returns:
    an array of datasource values
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if invalid datasource name is specified, or if datasource values are not yet calculated (method processData() was not called)
  - getAggregate
```
public double getAggregate(String sourceName,
                  ConsolFun consolFun)
```
    Returns single aggregated value for a single datasource.
    
    Parameters:
    sourceName - Datasource name
    consolFun - Consolidation function to be applied to fetched datasource values. Valid consolidation functions are MIN, MAX, LAST, FIRST, AVERAGE and TOTAL (these string constants are conveniently defined in the ConsolFun class)
    
    Returns:
    MIN, MAX, LAST, FIRST, AVERAGE or TOTAL value calculated from the data for the given datasource name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if invalid datasource name is specified, or if datasource values are not yet calculated (method processData() was not called)
  - getAggregates
```
public Aggregates getAggregates(String sourceName)
```
    Returns all (MIN, MAX, LAST, FIRST, AVERAGE and TOTAL) aggregated values for a single datasource.
    
    Parameters:
    sourceName - Datasource name
    
    Returns:
    Object containing all aggregated values
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if invalid datasource name is specified, or if datasource values are not yet calculated (method processData() was not called)
  - get95Percentile
```
public double get95Percentile(String sourceName)
```
    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.

    Parameters:
    sourceName - Datasource name
    
    Returns:

  - getPercentile
```
public double getPercentile(String sourceName)
```
    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.
