ValueCounter Aggregator Plugin
The valuecounter plugin counts the occurrence of values in fields and emits the counter once every 'period' seconds.
A use case for the valuecounter plugin is when you are processing a HTTP access log (with the logparser input) and want to count the HTTP status codes.
The fields which will be counted must be configured with the fields
configuration directive. When no fields is provided the plugin will not count
any fields. The results are emitted in fields in the format:
originalfieldname_fieldvalue = count.
Counting fields with a high number of potential values may produce significant amounts of new fields and memory usage, take care to only count fields with a limited set of values.
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
# Count the occurrence of values in fields.
[[aggregators.valuecounter]]
## General Aggregator Arguments:
## 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 fields for which the values will be counted
fields = ["status"]
Measurements & Fields
- measurement1
- field_value1
- field_value2
Tags
No tags are applied by this aggregator.
Example Output
Example for parsing a HTTP access log.
telegraf.conf:
[[inputs.logparser]]
files = ["/tmp/tst.log"]
[inputs.logparser.grok]
patterns = ['%{DATA:url:tag} %{NUMBER:response:string}']
measurement = "access"
[[aggregators.valuecounter]]
namepass = ["access"]
fields = ["response"]

/some/path 401
