Top

The top() function has three parameters:

• LIMIT_TO: The number of series to be displayed; choose from:

  • 5
  • 10
  • 25
  • 50
  • 100

• BY: Aggregation method; choose from:

  • max: Maximum of all metrics values.
  • mean: Mean of all metrics values.
  • min: Min of all metrics values.
  • sum: Sum of all metrics values.
  • last: Last metrics value.
  • l2norm: Uses the norm of the timeseries, which is always positive, to rank the series.
  • area: Signed area under the curve being graphed, which can be negative

• DIR: The direction of ranking; choose between:

  • asc: Rank the results in ascending order.
  • desc: Rank the results in descending order.

The top() method also has convenience functions of the following form, all of which take a single series list as input:

[top, bottom][5, 10, 15, 20]_[mean, min, max, last, area, l2norm][2]

For example, bottom10_min() retrieves the 10 lowest-valued series using the min metric.
