Tickscript Get Relative Value of Field from Previous Week and Compare

Hello. I’ve been working on setting up a few deadman alerts and now have found that relative alerts would be beneficial to my goals of determining if one of my processes (out of many) is not running optimally in comparison to previous periods. What I have determined is to base this off the time it is normally allowed to be “quiet” as well.
Thus far my difficulty has proven to be getting two streams (batches may be better, but another complication). One stream(or batch) must be the current value of the field, the second must be the value of the previous 7 days, with some math to round it to the nearest allowed “quiet” period as well (lets say 10 mintues). Here is what I’ve worked up thus far:

var db = ‘db’

var rp = ‘rp’

var measurement = ‘measurement’

var groupBy = [‘host’, ‘topic’]

var whereFilter = lambda: (“topic” == ‘test_test’)

var divisor = 1008

var offsetWhereFilter = lambda: (“topic” == ‘test_test’) AND time > now() - 14d AND time < now() - 7d

var name = ‘Relative Alert’

var idVar = name

var message = ‘’

var idTag = ‘alertID’

var levelTag = ‘level’

var messageField = ‘message’

var durationField = ‘duration’

var outputDB = ‘chronograf’

var outputRP = ‘autogen’

var outputMeasurement = ‘alerts’

var triggerType = ‘relative’

var crit = 20 //minimum percentage of allowed change

var data = stream
|from()
.database(db)
.retentionPolicy(rp)
.measurement(measurement)
.groupBy(groupBy)
.where(whereFilter)
|eval(lambda: “attr_value”)
.as(‘value’)

var past = stream
|from()
.database(db)
.retentionPolicy(rp)
.measurement(measurement)
.groupBy(groupBy)
.where(offsetWhereFilter)
|eval(lambda: “attr_value” / divisor)
.as(‘pastValue’)

var old = past

var current = data

var trigger = old
|join(current)
.as(‘past’, ‘current’)
|eval(lambda: float(“past.value” - “current.value”) / float(“past.value”) * 100.0)
.keep()
.as(‘newValue’)
|alert()
.crit(lambda: “newValue” > crit)
.stateChangesOnly()
.message(message)
.id(idVar)
.idTag(idTag)
.levelTag(levelTag)
.messageField(messageField)
.durationField(durationField)

trigger
|eval(lambda: float(“value”))
.as(‘value’)
.keep()
|influxDBOut()
.create()
.database(outputDB)
.retentionPolicy(outputRP)
.measurement(outputMeasurement)
.tag(‘alertName’, name)
.tag(‘triggerType’, triggerType)

trigger
|httpOut(‘output’)

This is the first problem I’ve run into thus far

invalid TICKscript: unsupported literal type func(time.Duration, …time.Duration) (kapacitor.TimeDimension, error)

from this line…

var offsetWhereFilter = lambda: (“beanTopic” == ‘test_test’) AND time > now() - 14d AND time < now() - 7d

There’s likely more that could be corrected in the script, but I’m not sure how to get past this first issue yet.

@MarcV it does compile now, thank you! I was unaware that time was a tag, clearly I need to study up more.
