I have a quick question to confirm what data is used to determine an overage... I believe I'm understanding the code/database correctly in that it calculates the 95th percentile for both in and out (rate_95th_in/rate_95th_out) and then whichever one is larger is stored as rate_95th and that is what is used for the value that the overage is based on.
I just ask because we see ~4-5 times more entries that are over their limit with Observium than with our previous system (which granted was horribly cobbled together, and last maintained in the early 00's), and I just wanted to make sure it wasn't taking the sum of in and out for the calculation.
Thanks! Berant
Yeah, that's correct. We also store the direction that hit the 95th.
For quota/transfer/average speed bills it's aggregated, iirc.

Great, yeah I was most interested in CDR.
Thanks Adam.
