# Template Processor
The `template` processor applies a go template to tag, field, measurement and time values to create a new tag.
The `template` processor applies a Go template to metrics to generate a new
tag. The primary use case of this plugin is to create a tag that can be used
for dynamic routing to multiple output plugins or using an output specific
routing option.
Golang [Template Documentation]
The template has access to each metric's measurement name, tags, fields, and
timestamp using the [interface in `/template_metric.go`](template_metric.go).
Read the full [Go Template Documentation][].
### Configuration
```toml
# Concatenate two tags to create a new tag
[[processors.template]]
## Tag to create
## Tag to set with the output of the template.
tag = "topic"
## Template to create tag
# Note: Single quotes (') are used, so the double quotes (") don't need escaping (\")
## Go template used to create the tag value. In order to ease TOML
## escaping requirements, you may wish to use single quotes around the
## template string.
template = '{{ .Tag "hostname" }}.{{ .Tag "level" }}'
```
### Example
```diff
- cpu,level=debug,hostname=localhost value=42i
+ cpu,level=debug,hostname=localhost,topic=localhost.debug value=42i
Combine multiple tags to create a single tag:
```toml
[[processors.template]]
tag = "topic"
template = '{{ .Tag "hostname" }}.{{ .Tag "level" }}'
```
[Template Documentation]:https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/
```diff
- cpu,level=debug,hostname=localhost time_idle=42
+ cpu,level=debug,hostname=localhost,topic=localhost.debug time_idle=42
```
Add measurement name as a tag:
```toml
[[processors.template]]
tag = "measurement"
template = '{{ .Name }}'
```
```diff
- cpu,hostname=localhost time_idle=42
+ cpu,hostname=localhost,meaurement=cpu time_idle=42
```
Add the year as a tag, similar to the date processor:
```toml
[[processors.template]]
tag = "year"
template = '{{.Time.UTC.Year}}'
```
