共通パラメータ
  • /host/key はホストアイテムの履歴を参照する関数の一般的なパラメーターの一つ目です。必須です。
  • (sec|#num)<:time shift> は、ホストのアイテム履歴を参照する関数の一般的なパラメーターの二つ目です。
    • sec - 秒単位の最大評価期間 (タイムサフィックス を使用できます) または
    • #num - 最新の収集値の最大評価範囲 (先頭にハッシュ マークがある場合)
    • time shift (オプション) 評価ポイントを時間内に戻すことができます。 時間シフトの指定については詳細を参照してください。

Function details

Some general notes on function parameters:

  • Optional function parameters (or parameter parts) are indicated by < >
  • Function-specific parameters are described with each function
  • /host/key and (sec|#num)<:time shift> parameters must never be quoted
forecast(/host/key,(sec|#num)<:time shift>,time,<fit>,<mode>)

The future value, max, min, delta or avg of the item.
Supported value types: Float, Integer.

Parameters:

  • See common parameters;
  • time - the forecasting horizon in seconds (time suffixes can be used); negative values are supported;
  • fit (optional; must be double-quoted) - the function used to fit historical data. Supported fits:
    linear - linear function (default)
    polynomialN - polynomial of degree N (1 <= N <= 6)
    exponential - exponential function
    logarithmic - logarithmic function
    power - power function
    Note that polynomial1 is equivalent to linear;
  • mode (optional; must be double-quoted) - the demanded output. Supported modes:
    value - value (default)
    max - maximum
    min - minimum
    delta - max-min
    avg - average
    Note that value estimates the item value at the moment now + time; max, min, delta and avg investigate the item value estimate on the interval between now and now + time.

Comments:

  • If the value to return is larger than 1.7976931348623157E+308 or less than -1.7976931348623157E+308, the return value is cropped to 1.7976931348623157E+308 or -1.7976931348623157E+308 correspondingly;
  • Becomes unsupported only if misused in the expression (wrong item type, invalid parameters), otherwise returns -1 in case of errors;
  • See also additional information on predictive trigger functions.

Examples:

forecast(/host/key,#10,1h) #forecast the item value in one hour based on the last 10 values
       forecast(/host/key,1h,30m) #forecast the item value in 30 minutes based on the last hour data
       forecast(/host/key,1h:now-1d,12h) #forecast the item value in 12 hours based on one hour one day ago
       forecast(/host/key,1h,10m,"exponential") #forecast the item value in 10 minutes based on the last hour data and exponential function
       forecast(/host/key,1h,2h,"polynomial3","max") #forecast the maximum value the item can reach in the next two hours based on last hour data and cubic (third degree) polynomial
       forecast(/host/key,#2,-20m) #estimate the item value 20 minutes ago based on the last two values (this can be more precise than using last(), especially if the item is updated rarely, say, once an hour)
timeleft(/host/key,(sec|#num)<:time shift>,threshold,<fit>)

The time in seconds needed for an item to reach the specified threshold.
Supported value types: Float, Integer.

Parameters:

Comments:

  • If the value to return is larger than 1.7976931348623157E+308, the return value is cropped to 1.7976931348623157E+308;
  • Returns 1.7976931348623157E+308 if the threshold cannot be reached;
  • Becomes unsupported only if misused in the expression (wrong item type, invalid parameters), otherwise returns -1 in case of errors;
  • See also additional information on predictive trigger functions.

Examples:

timeleft(/host/key,#10,0) #the time until the item value reaches zero based on the last 10 values
       timeleft(/host/key,1h,100) #the time until the item value reaches 100 based on the last hour data
       timeleft(/host/key,1h:now-1d,100) #the time until the item value reaches 100 based on one hour one day ago
       timeleft(/host/key,1h,200,"polynomial2") #the time until the item value reaches 200 based on the last hour data and assumption that the item behaves like a quadratic (second degree) polynomial
