-# 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 alerts like this:
-
-```
- alarm: my_alert
- 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:
