# Final Aggregator Plugin
The final aggregator emits the last metric of a contiguous series. A
contiguous series is defined as a series which receives updates within the
time period in `series_timeout`. The contiguous series may be longer than the
time interval defined by `period`.
This is useful for getting the final value for data sources that produce
discrete time series such as procstat, cgroup, kubernetes etc.
When a series has not been updated within the time defined in
`series_timeout`, the last metric is emitted with the `_final` appended.
### Configuration
```toml
[[aggregators.final]]
## The period on which to flush & clear the aggregator.
period = "30s"
## If true, the original metric will be dropped by the
## aggregator and will not get sent to the output plugins.
drop_original = false
## The time that a series is not updated until considering it final.
series_timeout = "5m"
```
### Metrics
Measurement and tags are unchanged, fields are emitted with the suffix
`_final`.
### Example Output
```
counter,host=bar i_final=3,j_final=6 1554281635115090133
counter,host=foo i_final=3,j_final=6 1554281635112992012
```
