FetchData

extends Object

   ↳ org.rrd4j.core.FetchData

Class Overview

Class used to represent data fetched from the RRD. Object of this class is created when the method fetchData() is called on a FetchRequest object.

Data returned from the RRD is, simply, just one big table filled with timestamps and corresponding datasource values. Use getRowCount() method to count the number of returned timestamps (table rows).

The first table column is filled with timestamps. Time intervals between consecutive timestamps are guaranteed to be equal. Use getTimestamps() method to get an array of timestamps returned.

Remaining columns are filled with datasource values for the whole timestamp range, on a column-per-datasource basis. Use getColumnCount() to find the number of datasources and getValues(i) method to obtain all values for the i-th datasource. Returned datasource values correspond to the values returned with getTimestamps() method.

Public Methods

public String dump ()

Dumps the content of the whole FetchData object. Useful for debugging.

public String exportXml ()

Dumps fetch data in XML format.

Returns
  • String containing XML formatted fetch data
Throws
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public void exportXml (OutputStream outputStream)

Dumps fetch data to output stream in XML format.

Parameters
outputStream Output stream to dump fetch data to
Throws
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public void exportXml (String filepath)

Dumps fetch data to file in XML format.

Parameters
filepath Path to destination file
Throws
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public double get95Percentile (String dsName)

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.

Rednet or
Bytemark.

Parameters
dsName Datasource name
Returns
  • 95th percentile of fetched source values
Throws
IllegalArgumentException Thrown if invalid source name is supplied

public double getAggregate (String dsName, ConsolFun consolFun)

Returns single aggregated value from the fetched data for a single datasource.

Parameters
dsName 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 fetched data for the given datasource name
Throws
IllegalArgumentException Thrown if the given datasource name cannot be found in fetched data.

public double getAggregate (String dsName, ConsolFun consolFun, String rpnExpression)

This method is deprecated.
This method is preserved just for backward compatibility.

Returns aggregated value from the fetched data for a single datasource. Before applying aggregation functions, specified RPN expression is applied to fetched data. For example, if you have a gauge datasource named 'foots' but you want to find the maximum fetched value in meters use something like:

getAggregate("foots", "MAX", "foots,0.3048,*");

Parameters
dsName Datasource name
consolFun Consolidation function (MIN, MAX, LAST, FIRST, AVERAGE or TOTAL)
rpnExpression RRDTool-like RPN expression
Returns
  • Aggregated value
Throws
IllegalArgumentException Thrown if the given datasource name cannot be found in fetched data, or if invalid RPN expression is supplied
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error (unlikely to happen)

public Aggregates getAggregates (String dsName)

Returns all aggregated values (MIN, MAX, LAST, FIRST, AVERAGE or TOTAL) calculated from the fetched data for a single datasource.

Parameters
dsName Datasource name.
Returns
  • Simple object containing all aggregated values.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException Thrown if the given datasource name cannot be found in the fetched data.
