Inputs

the inputs processors calculate a statistical property, such as the average, maximum, minimum, or sum, across the values of multiple inputs connected to an analytics flow why use the inputs processors use one of the inputs processors when you need to combine values from multiple input tags into a single statistic instead of processing each input independently, for example, averaging several temperature sensors into one reading how it works choose the processor that matches the statistic you need inputs average calculates the average of the connected inputs' values inputs maximum returns the maximum value among the connected inputs inputs minimum returns the minimum value among the connected inputs inputs sum adds the connected inputs' values together connect each input to the processor using a values connection, which also synchronizes the inputs by time connect the processor's output using an events connection by default, the processor operates on each input's value field use field name only if your inputs use a message type payload or a field name other than value parameters parameter details processing type the data type of the value being processed float , signed integer , or unsigned integer field name the field the processor operates on leave this unchanged unless your input is a message type payload or uses a field name other than value pass through value determines whether the processor's output is the calculated statistic or the original unchanged input value related topics use the inputs processor function docid\ i fn sxqfmz9miofd6fza
