# Scale Processor Plugin
The scale processor filters for a set of fields,
and scales the respective values from an input range into
the given output range according to this formula:
```math
\text{result}=(\text{value}-\text{input\_minimum})\cdot\frac{(\text{output\_maximum}-\text{output\_minimum})}
{(\text{input\_maximum}-\text{input\_minimum})} +
\text{output\_minimum}
```
Alternatively, you can apply a factor and offset to the input according to
this formula
```math
\text{result}=\text{factor} \cdot \text{value} + \text{offset}
```
Input fields are converted to floating point values if possible. Otherwise,
fields that cannot be converted are ignored and keep their original value.
**Please note:** Neither the input nor the output values are clipped to their
respective ranges!
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Scale values with a predefined range to a different output range.
[[processors.scale]]
## It is possible to define multiple different scaling that can be applied
## do different sets of fields. Each scaling expects the following
## arguments:
## - input_minimum: Minimum expected input value
## - input_maximum: Maximum expected input value
## - output_minimum: Minimum desired output value
## - output_maximum: Maximum desired output value
## alternatively you can specify a scaling with factor and offset
## - factor: factor to scale the input value with
## - offset: additive offset for value after scaling
## - fields: a list of field names (or filters) to apply this scaling to
## Example: Scaling with minimum and maximum values
# [[processors.scale.scaling]]
# input_minimum = 0.0
# input_maximum = 1.0
# output_minimum = 0.0
# output_maximum = 100.0
# fields = ["temperature1", "temperature2"]
## Example: Scaling with factor and offset
# [[processors.scale.scaling]]
# factor = 10.0
# offset = -5.0
# fields = ["voltage*"]
```
## Example
The example below uses these scaling values:
```toml
[[processors.scale.scaling]]
input_minimum = 0.0
input_maximum = 50.0
output_minimum = 50.0
output_maximum = 100.0
fields = ["cpu"]
```
```diff
- temperature, cpu=25
+ temperature, cpu=75.0
```
