Final Aggregator Plugin
The final aggregator emits the last metric of a contiguous series. A
contiguous series is defined as a series which receives updates within the
time period in series_timeout
. The contiguous series may be longer than the
time interval defined by period
.
This is useful for getting the final value for data sources that produce
discrete time series such as procstat, cgroup, kubernetes etc.
When a series has not been updated within the time defined in
series_timeout
, the last metric is emitted with the _final
appended.
Configuration
# Report the final metric of a series
[[aggregators.final]]
## The period on which to flush & clear the aggregator.
period = "30s"
## If true, the original metric will be dropped by the
## aggregator and will not get sent to the output plugins.
drop_original = false
## The time that a series is not updated until considering it final.
series_timeout = "5m"
Metrics
Measurement and tags are unchanged, fields are emitted with the suffix
_final
.
