Calculate average in Value Stream Analytics
What does this MR do?
This MR introduces a new internal API endpoint to request average durations for the stages. Currently there are no user facing changes (no changelog), the frontend will expose the averages in a follow-up MR.
How to test it
- Make sure you have ultimate license in GDK
- Create a seeded VSA project:
SEED_VSA=true FILTER=cycle_analytics rake db:seed_fu
- Open the generated group
- Analytics / Value Stream
- Open the inspector and find a
median
query. Copy the URL - Change the
median
in theURL
toaverage
- The average value should show up
Queries
Stages are configurable by the end user so it's hard to get accurate timings. I did some testing earlier to compare the timings between median queries and average queries in our stages. The queries are generally the same, the only difference is the aggregation function: AVG
vs percentile_cont
See my comment for query examples and plans: #273208 (comment 498220054)
