[rrd-users] Re: 95th percentile

[Mike Bernhardt]

If you'd post the code, I'd appreciate it. I'm fairly new to perl and even
newer to rrdtool, so I can use all the tutelage I can get. Do you
incorporate it with 14all or something, or does your script build the graphs
too? Sorry if that's a stupid question...

Yes, sortof.  I compute 95th percentile for customer bandwidth.  Accuracy
will depend on the number of sample interval and number of samples.  I
don't use the default mrtg-like definitions.

If you use the Statistics::Descriptive perl module, it's pretty simple.  I
do a fetch of the interval I wan't to compute over (in my case, it's 5
minute samples for the last 30 days).  I can post the actual code if you
like, but essentially:

$stat = Statistics::Descriptive::Full->new();
($start,$step,$ds,$data) = RRDs::fetch .....;
foreach (@$data) {
	#
	# Substitute zero for missing samples
	if ($_->[0] eq "" || $_->[1] eq "") {
            $sam = 0;
            $drop++;
        } else {
            $sam = ($_->[0] * 8) + ($_->[1] * 8);
        }
	$stat->add_data($sam);
}
$perc = $stat->percentile(95);
