Measurement Storage
How is that stored?
Aggregation
Events captured for a Measure are aggregated into a measurement per 10 seconds interval. Each measurement can be aggregated as follows:
- average - average of all event values per interval
- minimum - retain the minimum encountered value per interval
- maximum - retain the maximum encountered value per interval
- count - retain the event count per interval.
- sum - calculate the sum of all event values per interval.
This is an example of how aggregation can be configured for a JMX measure.
