Hi, Problem: I’m using telegraf’s win\_services plugin which has field “state” with values “1 2 3 4 5 6 7”. I want to add text explanation of this numbers as a tag. Example: `if 4 > "Running" if 1 > "Stopped"` Can you help me to with an example config? I searched this question and found enum processor but I’m not sure if it’s the solution. 1. As far as I understand, enum works across the config file. I need it for only “win\_services” measurement. 2. I need to create tags from field values. ---

You could use the `enum` processor, I think something like this might do what you want: > [[processors.enum]] > [[processors.enum.mapping]] > namepass = “win\_services” > field = “state” > dest = “state\_label” > [processors.enum.mapping.value\_mappings] > 1 = “Stopped” > 4 = “Running” The `namepass` parameter will limit the plugin to only run against the `win_services` measurement. You can also convert your `state` field into a tag in Telegraf with the `converter` plugin: > [processors.converter.fields] > tag = [“state”] Then in your Flux query you can change the value from a number to a human-readable label. ---

First of all thanks for your reply. I wonder if I can set “state\_label” as a tag instead of field while the “state” is field. I’ve tried to combine “converter” with “enum” but no luck. Generated “state\_label” field with enum then tried to convert it into a tag with “converter” but telegraf telegraf doesn’t run processor plugins in the order of their place in the config file. I’m not sure if I can create a pipeline in telegraf or is there a simpler way? I don’t use flux for now. So, I want to add the tag into the data points itself. ---

You can force the order that Processors are run by giving them an `order = #` parameter: [telegraf/CONFIGURATION.md at master · influxdata/telegraf · GitHub](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/CONFIGURATION.md#processor-plugins) ---

Cool Thanks! ```auto [[processors.enum]] namepass = "win_services" order = 1 [[processors.enum.mapping]] field = "state" dest = "state_label" [processors.enum.mapping.value_mappings] 1 = "Stopped" 4 = "Running" 2 = "Start Pending" 3 = "Stop Pending" 5 = "Continue Pending" 6 = "Pause Pending" 7 = "Paused" [[processors.converter]] namepass = "win_services" order = 2 [processors.converter.fields] tag = ["state_label"] ``` ---
