# Override Processor Plugin
The override processor plugin allows overriding all modifications that are
supported by input plugins and aggregators:
* name_override
* name_prefix
* name_suffix
* tags
All metrics passing through this processor will be modified accordingly. Select
the metrics to modify using the standard [metric
filtering](../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#metric-filtering) options.
Values of *name_override*, *name_prefix*, *name_suffix* and already present
*tags* with conflicting keys will be overwritten. Absent *tags* will be
created.
Use-case of this plugin encompass ensuring certain tags or naming conventions
are adhered to irrespective of input plugin configurations, e.g. by
`taginclude`.
## 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
# Apply metric modifications using override semantics.
[[processors.override]]
## All modifications on inputs and aggregators can be overridden:
# name_override = "new_name"
# name_prefix = "new_name_prefix"
# name_suffix = "new_name_suffix"
## Tags to be added (all values must be strings)
# [processors.override.tags]
# additional_tag = "tag_value"
```
