Pivot Processor Plugin

This plugin rotates single-valued metrics into a multi-field metric. The result is a more compact representation for applying mathematical operators to or do comparisons between metrics or flatten fields.

[!TIP] To perform the reverse operation use the unpivot processor.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.12.0 Tags: transformation OS support: all

Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->

Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring plugin ordering. See CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Rotate a single valued metric into a multi field metric
[[processors.pivot]]
  ## Tag to use for naming the new field.
  tag_key = "name"
  ## Field to use as the value of the new field.
  value_key = "value"

Example

- cpu,cpu=cpu0,name=time_idle value=42i
- cpu,cpu=cpu0,name=time_user value=43i
+ cpu,cpu=cpu0 time_idle=42i
+ cpu,cpu=cpu0 time_user=43i
