The divideSeries function provides the most straightforward way to divide a group of time-series by a single time-series. This is achieved by entering two metric expressions; one as the dividend, and another as the divisor. Importantly, the divisor must hold a single time-series.
Usage Example
The divideSeries function can be used when you want to monitor the ratio between one (or more) time-series and some quantity (such as the total sum of a group of time-series):
The result of the composite above is a group of three metrics, each one holding the calculated ratios between a specific #batch_id metric and the total sum of all #batch_id metrics:
Note: To divide matching pairs of time-series, see ratioPairs.
