need help with combining functions

Asked by Eric Rumer

I need to figure out a way to use both groupByNode and averageSeriesWithWildcards, or something...

I have several nodes, and each node hase several CPUs, and each CPU has several metrics. Basically, I want to sum user and system, then average that accross all CPUs, then groupByNode.

Is this possible? I couldn't find a way to use a function inside of groupByNode...

Something like this, I think, but it doesn't seem to work:

groupByNode(averageSeriesWithWildcards(*.cpu.*.cpu.{user,system}.value,1),0,"sumSeries")

Tree looks like
[HOST]->cpu->[CPU NUMBER]->cpu->[user,system,idle]->value

Thanks!

I think this should be possible - so you want basically the average combined user+system of each system across all CPUs (one line per server) right? How about averageSeriesWithWildcards(sumSeriesWithWildcards(*.cpu.*.cpu.{user,system}.value,4),0) - that will (I think) sum up the user and system metrics for each permutation of host and cpu number, and then average those values for every host.

These functions (the *WithWildcards and groupByNode) are the most confusing available. Experiment with them a while and you should be able to get something working

Can you help with this problem?
