Combination (BCombination)

This component works behind the scenes to define how to combine multiple pieces of data. When used for aggregation, it defines how the framework combines data from multiple individual points. When used for rollups, it defines how the framework combines multiple values in a single interval of a trend.

A combination excludes data with an invalid status, unless everything being combined has an invalid status. Invalid status values are: disabled, down, fault, stale and null.

Aggregation and rollup options

This component is responsible for the list of options to configure the Aggregation and Rollup properties on various components and widgets in the framework.

Value Description
And Logical “and” of Boolean values.
Avg The statistical mean, which is determined by adding all of the values together and dividing by the number of values.
Count The number or quantity of values in a combination.
First The first value in a combination.
Last The last value in a combination.
Max The largest value in a numeric combination.
Median The value in the middle of a sorted numeric combination. It is the number that separates the higher half from the lower half.
Min The smallest value in a numeric combination.
Mode Statistically, the most frequently-occurring number in the combination.
Or Logical “or” of Boolean values.
Range Statistically, the difference between the largest and smallest values in the combination.
Sum The result of adding together all values in the combination.
Load factor The measure of utilization rate.
Standard deviation The standard deviation calculated for all values.
