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.

## Field to use as the value of the new field.
