what "quant" means? QUEUE AGE AVERAGE(queue,quant)

Post by anjomshoae »

Hi,

I am trying to understand the QUEUE AGE AVERAGE(queue,quant) function. I am not sure what is the interpretation of "quant". anyone knows?

also, I am not clear with the meaning of this statement;

"Returns the average age of the oldest quant elements in queue. This is useful for tracking performance. If quant is less than or equal to zero, or bigger than the total amount in the queue the average is taken over all elements in the queue"

can anyone explain it in simple terms?

regards,
