How to Use Starlark with Telegraf

The Telegraf Starlark Processor Plugin allows users to perform various operations on their data using the Starlark language, which is a dialect of Python. The plugin provides capabilities such as math operations, string operations, renaming tags, logic operations, and scaling metrics. Users can write custom Starlark functions to transform their data, calculate percentages, scale bytes to kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, and even rename tags. Additionally, the plugin supports conditional logic and dropping metrics based on numeric conditions. With this plugin, users can enhance their data collection and processing capabilities, making it easier to work with time-series data in Telegraf.
