description <<~MD
The Peak Detector Agent will watch for peaks in an event stream. When a peak is detected, the resulting Event will have a payload message of `message`. You can include extractions in the message, for example: `I saw a bar of: {{foo.bar}}`, have a look at the [Wiki](https://github.com/huginn/huginn/wiki/Formatting-Events-using-Liquid) for details.
The `value_path` value is a [JSONPath](http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/) to the value of interest. `group_by_path` is a JSONPath that will be used to group values, if present.
Set `expected_receive_period_in_days` to the maximum amount of time that you'd expect to pass between Events being received by this Agent.
You may set `window_duration_in_days` to change the default memory window length of `14` days, `min_peak_spacing_in_days` to change the default minimum peak spacing of `2` days (peaks closer together will be ignored), and `std_multiple` to change the default standard deviation threshold multiple of `3`.
You may set `min_events` for the minimal number of accumulated events before the agent starts detecting.
You may set `search_url` to point to something else than Twitter search, using the URI Template syntax defined in [RFC 6570](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570). Default value is `#{DEFAULT_SEARCH_URL}` where `{q}` will be replaced with group name.
