batch

Batch Processor Plugin

This plugin groups metrics into batches by adding a batch tag. This is useful for parallel processing of metrics where downstream processors, aggregators or outputs can then select a batch using tagpass or metricpass.

Metrics are distributed across batches using the round-robin scheme.

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

## Batch metrics into separate batches by adding a tag indicating the batch index.
[[processors.batch]]
  ## The name of the tag to use for adding the batch index
  batch_tag = "my_batch"

  ## The number of batches to create
  batches = 16

  ## Do not assign metrics with an existing batch assignment to a
  ## different batch.
  # skip_existing = false

Example

The example below uses these settings:

[[processors.batch]]
  ## The tag key to use for batching
  batch_tag = "batch"

  ## The number of batches to create
  batches = 3
