Merge Aggregator Plugin
Merge metrics together into a metric with multiple fields into the most memory
and network transfer efficient form.
Use this plugin when fields are split over multiple metrics, with the same
measurement, tag set and timestamp. By merging into a single metric they can
be handled more efficiently by the output.
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
