Date Processor Plugin

Use the date processor to add the metric timestamp as a human readable tag.

A common use is to add a tag that can be used to group by month or year.

A few example usecases include:

  1. consumption data for utilities on per month basis
  2. bandwidth capacity per month
  3. compare energy production or sales on a yearly or monthly basis

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

# Dates measurements, tags, and fields that pass through this filter.
[[processors.date]]
  ## New tag to create
  tag_key = "month"

  ## New field to create (cannot set both field_key and tag_key)
  # field_key = "month"

  ## Date format string, must be a representation of the Go "reference time"
  ## which is "Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006".
  date_format = "Jan"

  ## If destination is a field, date format can also be one of
  ## "unix", "unix_ms", "unix_us", or "unix_ns", which will insert an integer field.
  # date_format = "unix"

  ## Offset duration added to the date string when writing the new tag.
  # date_offset = "0s"

  ## Timezone to use when creating the tag or field using a reference time
  ## string.  This can be set to one of "UTC", "Local", or to a location name
  ## in the IANA Time Zone database.
  ##   example: timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"
  # timezone = "UTC"

timezone

On Windows, only the Local and UTC zones are available by default. To use other timezones, set the ZONEINFO environment variable to the location of zoneinfo.zip:

set ZONEINFO=C:\zoneinfo.zip

Example

- throughput lower=10i,upper=1000i,mean=500i 1560540094000000000
+ throughput,month=Jun lower=10i,upper=1000i,mean=500i 1560540094000000000
