+# ValueCounter Aggregator Plugin
+
+The valuecounter plugin counts the occurance of values in fields and emmits the
+counter once every 'preriod' seconds.
+
+A usecase for the valuecounter plugin is when you are processing a HTTP access
+log (with the logparser input) and want to count the HTTP status codes.
+
+The fields which will be counted must be configured with the `field_names`
+configuration directive. When no `field_names` is provided the plugin will not
+count any fields. The results are emitted in fields in the format:
+`originalfieldname_fieldvalue = count`.
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```toml
+[[aggregators.valuecounter]]
+  ## General Aggregator Arguments:
+  ## The period on which to flush & clear the aggregator.
+  period = "30s"
+  ## If true, the original metric will be dropped by the
+  ## aggregator and will not get sent to the output plugins.
+  drop_original = false
+  ## The fields for which the values will be counted
+  field_names = ["status"]
+```
+
+### Measurements & Fields:
+
+- measurement1
+    - field_value1
+    - field_value2
+
+### Tags:
+
+No tags are applied by this aggregator.
+
+### Example Output:
+
+Example for parsing a HTTP access log.
+
+telegraf.conf:
+```
+[[inputs.logparser]]
+  files = ["/tmp/tst.log"]
+  [inputs.logparser.grok]
+    patterns = ['%{DATA:url:tag} %{NUMBER:response:string}']
+    measurement = "access"
+
+[[aggregators.valuecounter]]
+  namepass = ["access"]
+  field_names = ["response"]
