How to Group Alerts by Time Window in Python
Group alert occurrences that fall within a sliding time window per alert key, reducing noise and summarizing bursts into single events.
from collections import defaultdict
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
def group_alerts(alerts, window_minutes=10):
"""Group alerts that occur within the same time window."""
alerts_by_key = defaultdict(list)
for alert in alerts:
key = alert["key"]
timestamp = alert["timestamp"]…How to Track Cache Hit Ratio in Python
Simulate an LRU cache with hit/miss tracking and compute a real-time hit ratio from random access patterns.
import random
import time
from collections import OrderedDict
class LRUCache:
def __init__(self, capacity: int):
self.cache = OrderedDict()
self.capacity = capacity
self.hits = 0
self.misses = 0
def get(self, key):
if key in self.cache:
self.hits += 1
