rename

Rename Processor Plugin

The rename processor renames measurements, fields, and tags.

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

# Rename measurements, tags, and fields that pass through this filter.
[[processors.rename]]
  ## Specify one sub-table per rename operation.
  [[processors.rename.replace]]
    measurement = "network_interface_throughput"
    dest = "throughput"

  [[processors.rename.replace]]
    tag = "hostname"
    dest = "host"

  [[processors.rename.replace]]
    field = "lower"
    dest = "min"

  [[processors.rename.replace]]
    field = "upper"
    dest = "max"

Tags

No tags are applied by this processor, though it can alter them by renaming.

Example

- network_interface_throughput,hostname=backend.example.com lower=10i,upper=1000i,mean=500i 1502489900000000000
+ throughput,host=backend.example.com min=10i,max=1000i,mean=500i 1502489900000000000
