+
+# Single (or Simple) Exponential Smoothing (`ses`)
+
+> This query is also available as `ema` and `ewma`.
+
+An exponential moving average (`ema`), also known as an exponentially weighted moving average (`ewma`)
+is a first-order infinite impulse response filter that applies weighting factors which decrease
+exponentially. The weighting for each older datum decreases exponentially, never reaching zero.
+
+In simple terms, this is like an average value, but more recent values are given more weight.
+
+Netdata automatically adjusts the weight (`alpha`) based on the number of values processed,
+using the formula:
+
+```
+window = max(number of values, 15)
+alpha = 2 / (window + 1)
+```
+
+You can change the fixed value `15` by setting in `netdata.conf`:
+
+```
+[web]
+ ses max window = 15
+```
+
+## how to use
+
+Use it in alarms like this:
+
+```
+ alarm: my_alarm
+ on: my_chart
+lookup: ses -1m unaligned of my_dimension
+ warn: $this > 1000
+```
+
+`ses` does not change the units. For example, if the chart units is `requests/sec`, the exponential
+moving average will be again expressed in the same units.
+
+It can also be used in APIs and badges as `&group=ses` in the URL.
+
+## Examples
+
+Examining last 1 minute `successful` web server responses:
