mavg wavefront query timeout when called through the REST api - telegraf

I am running following wavefront query to get SINGLE VALUE which is Average over the given time range for which the query is being called. This works fine in the wavefront dashboard but it times out when called through the Wavefront REST API. Can this query be optimized so that it does not timeout or is there an issue running it through REST api:
mavg(1vw, avg(ts(telegraf.response.times.99.percentile , accountid="123" and env="prod" and myvar!="true”)))
I tried with following but does not help
mavg(1vw, avg(align(900s, mean, ts(telegraf.response.times.99.percentile , accountid=“123” and env=“prod” and myvar!=“true”))))

I found some special character in place of double quotes that came in while copy-pasting the query. It worked fine when I typed the whole query manually.

How do I make a query equalto with a long value?

I tried to make a query from real time database using equalTo().
database.getReference(verifiedProductsDb.dbPartVerifiedProducts).order By Child(verifiedProductsDb.barcode).equalTo(b.toLong()).get().addOnCompleteListener {
but android studio gives out:
None of the following functions can be called with the argument supplied.
equalTo(Boolean) defined in com.google.firebase.database.Query
equalTo(Double) defined in com.google.firebase.database.Query
equal To(String?) defined in com.google.firebase.database.Query
Despite the fact that using setValue, long values are written to the same database quite successfully and without problems.
The Realtime Database API on Android only has support for Double number types. The underlying wire protocol and database will interpret the long numbers correctly though, so you should be able to just do:
database.getReference("VerifiedProducts")
.orderByChild("barcode")
.equalTo(b.toLong().toDouble()) // 👈
.get().addOnCompleteListener {

Raising Alerts from Application Insights log based on percentage?

I can write a query in application insights that gives me a percentage as a scalar. I want to create alert if that percentage is > X . How can this be done using log based alerts?
Basically, I have a lot of machines that send telemetry to application insights. Sometimes they log some exceptions. I send MachineName in customDimensions for all the logs. So I can get the names of all the machines that sent logs in last 24 hours. The exceptions are also sent with MachineName in customDimensions. When a particular error is raised by more than X% machines in last 24 hours, I want to raise an alert.
The way to write alert logic is using 'Number of Results' which cannot be used for this since it automatically adds '|count' to the query. The other way is using 'Metric Measurement', which I am guessing should help me raise an alert like this but I'm unable to figure out how.
I can get the total machine count by this query:
let num_machines = traces
| summarize by tostring(customDimensions["MachineName"])
| count;
I can get the number of machines that reported an exception like this:
let num_error_machines = exceptions
| where customDimensions["Message"] contains "ExceptionXRaised"
| summarize by tostring(customDimensions["MachineName"])
| count;
finally, i can get the percentage of machines that raised the issue like this:
print toscalar(num_error_machines)*100/toscalar(num_machines)
I am not sure how to use this result to raise an alert using MetricMeasurement. This needs to be modified somehow to get AggregatedValue and use bin, I am not sure if that is possible / how that query will be.
Sorry for the late reply. I've tested in my side and met many problems indeed.
I found that alert rule doesn't support to monitor the percentage number of the result, it only supports the numbers of query result and Metric measurement. So I think you may give up the percentage and use the num_err_machine like the screenshot below
Pls note, you can't append " ; " at the end of the query or it will give an error like The request had some invalid properties

Firebase Stream function not working correctly

I am working with ESP8266 and Firebase-Arduino library. I am trying to use the stream function but I am facing a problem with Firebase.available().
I know that Firebase.available() returns a true value whenever a change occurs on the real time database. But in my case it returns a true value every 30 seconds irrespective of the change has taken place or not.
Is this normal?
If not then how to fix it?
I am using the example code provided for FirebaseStream.

How to read documents from Change Feed in Azure Cosmos DB since last checkpoint after restart?

I am using Change Feed processor library to read the Change Feed on a partitioned collection and below is the code for how I have configure it. I ma using most of the default options.
ChangeFeedProcessorOptions feedProcessorOptions = new
{
LeaseRenewInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15),
};
var docObserverFactory = DocumentFeedObserverFactory.Create(this.destinationCollectionInfo, this.dbRepository);
this.builder
.WithHostName(hostName)
.WithFeedCollection(this.monitoredCollectionInfo)
.WithLeaseCollection(this.leaseCollectionInfo)
.WithProcessorOptions(feedProcessorOptions)
.WithObserverFactory(docObserverFactory);
This runs fine as long as the Change Feed application is running and documents are being inserted/updated in the collection and the Change Feed app picks them up as expected.
The problem happens when I stop the Change Feed app for sometime and insert/update few documents in the Collection. Then when I start the Change Feed app, it doesn't pick changes from where it last left. Those changes that were inserted when the Change Feed app was stopped are lost. But when I set the flag StartFromBeginning to true, it picks everything from the start including changes that were inserted when the Change Feed app was stopped in between for sometime.
My understanding of read from current (StartFromBeginning to false) is that the Change Feed reads documents since it last left. But that doesn't seem to happen. Please help.
There are two ways to continue from exactly where you left it.
The first, and more accurate one, is to store the Continuation token of the last thing you read. That way you can specify it when you start again and it will win over both the StartTime and the StartFromBeginning flags.
The second one is to provide the StartTime property which will try and find the continuation token of a given time automatically. It has an approximate 5 second precision so there is a chance that you might miss some documents though.

Retrieve current metric value from graphite

Suppose I have a metric named a.b.c.count. I am trying to write a python script which reads the latest value of the metric a.b.c.count in graphite.
I went through the docs and figured out that we can use curl to retrieve metrics from graphite using functions http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/0.9.13-pre1/functions.html.
But still unable to figure out how to achieve the same.
I haven't seen a way to ask Graphite for a single value, but you can ask for a summary of values over a configurable period, and take the last one. (This is just for minimizing the data returned, you could as easily pull out the last value from any series in a given timeframe.) Example render parameters:
target=summarize(a.b.c.count,'1hour','last')&from=-1h&format=json
The JSON returned will look like this:
[{"target": "summarize(a.b.c.count, \"1hour\", \"last\")",
"datapoints": [[5.1333330000000004, 1442160000],
[5.5499989999999997, 1442163600]]}]
Here is a Python snippet to retrieve and parse this, using the 'requests' HTTP library
import requests
r = requests.get("http://graphite.yourdomain.com/render/?" +
"target=summarize(a.b.c.count,'1hour','last')&from=-1h&format=json")
print r.json()[0][u'datapoints'][-1][0]
