# Pivot Processor
You can use the `pivot` processor to rotate single valued metrics into a multi
field metric. This transformation often results in data that is more easily
to apply mathematical operators and comparisons between, and flatten into a
more compact representation for write operations with some output data
formats.
To perform the reverse operation use the [unpivot] processor.
### Configuration
```toml
[[processors.pivot]]
## Tag to use for naming the new field.
tag_key = "name"
## Field to use as the value of the new field.
value_key = "value"
```
### Example
```diff
- cpu,cpu=cpu0,name=time_idle value=42i
- cpu,cpu=cpu0,name=time_user value=43i
+ cpu,cpu=cpu0 time_idle=42i
+ cpu,cpu=cpu0 time_user=43i
```
