Unpivot Processor Plugin
This plugin allows to rotate a multi-field series into single-valued metrics. The resulting metrics allow to more easily aggregate data across fields.
To perform the reverse operation use the pivot processor.
Introduced in: Telegraf v1.12.0 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
# Rotate multi field metric into several single field metrics
[[processors.unpivot]]
## Metric mode to pivot to
## Set to "tag", metrics are pivoted as a tag and the metric is kept as
## the original measurement name. Tag key name is set by tag_key value.
## Set to "metric" creates a new metric named the field name. With this
## option the tag_key is ignored. Be aware that this could lead to metric
## name conflicts!
# use_fieldname_as = "tag"
## Tag to use for the name.
# tag_key = "name"
## Field to use for the name of the value.
# value_key = "value"Example
Metric mode tag:
- cpu,cpu=cpu0 time_idle=42i,time_user=43i
+ cpu,cpu=cpu0,name=time_idle value=42i
+ cpu,cpu=cpu0,name=time_user value=43i
Metric mode metric:
- cpu,cpu=cpu0 time_idle=42i,time_user=43i
+ time_idle,cpu=cpu0 value=42i
+ time_user,cpu=cpu0 value=43i
