live_ranges()

Get the live intervals from a heartbeat_agg

Since 1.15.0

Return a set of (start_time, end_time) pairs representing when the underlying system was live during the interval of the aggregate.

Given a table called liveness containing weekly heartbeat aggregates in column health with timestamp column date, use the following to get the intervals where the system was live during the week of Jan 9, 2022.

SELECT live_ranges(health)
FROM liveness
WHERE date = '01-9-2022 UTC'

Returns:

live_ranges
