Learn how to categorize values in buckets.

Assort values

Assorting values runs inc on the driver with a twist. Before passing values to inc method, it categorizes values into a category keys and sets values to 1. This way it increments the metrics within specific bucket. Effectively creating a metrics for a histogram.

`assort(key: String, at: Time, values: Hash, **options)`

key - string identifier for the metrics
at - timestamp of the sample (in most cases current timestamp)
values - hash of values. Can contain only nested hashes and numbers (Integer, Float, BigDecimal). Any other objects will cause an error.
options - hash of optional arguments:
- config - optional configuration instance of Trifle::Stats::Configuration. It defaults to global configuration, otherwise uses passed in configuration.

Assort is using concept of Designator to define buckets for categorizing values. Please see the Designator documentation for more details.

Below examples are using following designator: Trifle::Stats::Designator::Linear.new(min: 0, max: 100, step: 10)

Assort your first values

Trifle::Stats.assort(key: 'event::logs', at: Time.now, values: {count: 1, duration: 2, lines: 241})
=> [{"count.10"=>1, "duration.10"=>1, "lines.100+"=>1}, {"count.10"=>1, "duration.10"=>1, "lines.100+"=>1}]

Then do it few more times

Trifle::Stats.assort(key: 'event::logs', at: Time.now, values: {count: 1, duration: 1, lines: 56})
=> [{"count.10"=>1, "duration.10"=>1, "lines.60"=>1}, {"count.10"=>1, "duration.10"=>1, "lines.60"=>1}]
Trifle::Stats.assort(key: 'event::logs', at: Time.now, values: {count: 1, duration: 5, lines: 361})
=> [{"count.10"=>1, "duration.10"=>1, "lines.100+"=>1}, {"count.10"=>1, "duration.10"=>1, "lines.100+"=>1}]

Get values

Retrieve your values for specific range. As you just used assort above, it will return categorized values you've tracked.

Trifle::Stats.values(key: 'event::logs', from: Time.now, to: Time.now, range: :day)
=> {:at=>[2022-06-18 00:00:00 +0200], :values=>[{"count"=>{"10"=>3}, "duration"=>{"10"=>3}, "lines"=>{"100+"=>2, "60"=>1}}]}
