The override processor plugin allows overriding all modifications that are supported by input plugins and aggregators:
- name_override
- name_prefix
- name_suffix
- tags
All metrics passing through this processor will be modified accordingly. Select the metrics to modify using the standard measurement filtering options.
Values of name_override, name_prefix, name_suffix and already present tags with conflicting keys will be overwritten. Absent tags will be created.
Use-case of this plugin encompass ensuring certain tags or naming conventions
are adhered to irrespective of input plugin configurations, e.g. by
taginclude
.
# Apply metric modifications using override semantics.
[[processors.override]]
## All modifications on inputs and aggregators can be overridden:
# name_override = "new_name"
# name_prefix = "new_name_prefix"
# name_suffix = "new_name_suffix"
## Tags to be added (all values must be strings)
# [processors.override.tags]
# additional_tag = "tag_value"
