ratio
Trips when the relationship between two different metrics is imbalanced.
How it works
Evaluates the proportional relationship between a numerator and a denominator. This logic is asymmetric; it identifies when the two metrics diverge from their expected relative scale.
When to use
- Capacity planning (Requests per Worker).
- Cost efficiency (Operations per Dollar).
- Complex resource balancing (Cache Hits vs. Misses).
When not to use
- When the two metrics are unrelated.
- When the denominator frequently reaches zero.
