Scale Processor Plugin

This plugin allows to scale field-values from an input range into the given output range according to this formula:

\text{result}=(\text{value}-\text{input\_minimum})\cdot\frac{(\text{output\_maximum}-\text{output\_minimum})}
{(\text{input\_maximum}-\text{input\_minimum})} +
\text{output\_minimum}

Alternatively, you can apply a factor and offset to the input according to this formula

\text{result}=\text{factor} \cdot \text{value} + \text{offset}

Input fields are converted to floating point values if possible. Otherwise, fields that cannot be converted are ignored and keep their original value.

Neither the input nor output values are clipped to their respective ranges!

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.27.0 Tags: transformation OS support: all

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Scale values with a predefined range to a different output range.
[[processors.scale]]
    ## It is possible to define multiple different scaling that can be applied
    ## do different sets of fields. Each scaling expects the following
    ## arguments:
    ##   - input_minimum: Minimum expected input value
    ##   - input_maximum: Maximum expected input value
    ##   - output_minimum: Minimum desired output value
    ##   - output_maximum: Maximum desired output value
    ## alternatively you can specify a scaling with factor and offset
    ##   - factor: factor to scale the input value with
    ##   - offset: additive offset for value after scaling
    ##   - fields: a list of field names (or filters) to apply this scaling to

    ## Example: Scaling with minimum and maximum values
    # [[processors.scale.scaling]]
    #    input_minimum = 0.0
    #    input_maximum = 1.0
    #    output_minimum = 0.0
    #    output_maximum = 100.0
    #    fields = ["temperature1", "temperature2"]

    ## Example: Scaling with factor and offset
    # [[processors.scale.scaling]]
    #    factor = 10.0
    #    offset = -5.0
    #    fields = ["voltage*"]

Example

The example below uses these scaling values:

[[processors.scale.scaling]]
    input_minimum = 0.0
    input_maximum = 50.0
    output_minimum = 50.0
    output_maximum = 100.0
    fields = ["cpu"]
- temperature, cpu=25
+ temperature, cpu=75.0

New in InfluxDB 3.4

Key enhancements in InfluxDB 3.4 and the InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.2.

See the Blog Post

InfluxDB 3.4 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, which introduces offline token generation for use in automated deployments and configurable license type selection that lets you bypass the interactive license prompt. InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.2 is also available, which includes InfluxDB cache management and other new features.
