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.
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.
