I was looking for a way in which I could add/introduce a default field from telegraf. I looked into processors and saw that it is possible to modify tags but not fields. Is there any way around this? Maybe through the parsers? Thanks

Awesom, found 2 plugins in processors to serve the need defaults: Fills the field with a default value. enum: Can map filed values to another. Opted for “enum” as it serves the need with some scope of additional capabilities :slight_smile:

Can you provide some examples:

What it does currently / by default
What you would prefer it to do
