.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module is the base class for implementation of the timeslot
aggregator. This aggregator will split the \s-1DLF\s0 records based on a unit
of time. For example, if the unit is 1h, all \s-1DLF\s0 records occuring on
the same hour of day (independant of the day on which it occurs) are
grouped together.
.SH "CONSTRUCTOR"
.IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR"
.ie n .SS "new( %params )"
.el .SS "new( \f(CW%params\fP )"
.IX Subsection "new( %params )"
Creates a new instance of a timegroup aggregator. In addition to the
normal report operator parameters, the timegroup aggregator can take
several parameters:
.IP "field" 4
.IX Item "field"
This optional parameter contains the \s-1DLF\s0 field which contains the time
value used to group the \s-1DLF\s0 records together. See the \fIfield()\fR method
for more information.
.IP "unit" 4
.IX Item "unit"
This mandatory parameter should contains the time unit that will be
used to group the records. See the \fIunit()\fR method for more information.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "field( [$new_field] )"
.IX Subsection "field( [$new_field] )"
Returns the \s-1DLF\s0 field's name that is used to group the \s-1DLF\s0 records.
This should be a valid timestamp \s-1DLF\s0 field in the current schema. By
default, the default timestamp field of the \s-1DLF\s0 schema is used.
.PP
You can change the field by passing a \f(CW$new_field\fR parameter.
.SS "unit( [$new_unit])"
.IX Subsection "unit( [$new_unit])"
Returns the time unit that will be used to group the \s-1DLF\s0 records. The
unit is expressed as a duration value (for example 1s), but it should
be noted that this will group the records based on the second unit of
the \s-1DLF\s0 record's timestamp value. It could also be the name of a
report specification's parameter containing a duration value.
.PP
The time unit can be changed by using the \f(CW$new_unit\fR parameter.
