title: Aggregate event handler
description: The aggregate event handler allows you to aggregate alerts messages over a specified interval. This page includes aggregate options and usage examples.

The aggregate event handler aggregates multiple events into a single event.
It subscribes to a topic and aggregates published messages within a defined
interval into an aggregated topic.
## Options
The following aggregate event handler options can be set in a
[handler file](/kapacitor/v1.5/event_handlers/#handler-file).
| Name | Type | Description |
| ---- | ---- | ----------- |
| interval | duration | How often to aggregate events. Interval must be specified in nanoseconds. |
| topic | string | A topic into which to publish the aggregate events. |
| message | string | A template string where `{{.Interval}}` and `{{.Count}}` are available for constructing a meaningful message. |
### Example: handler file
```yaml
id: handler-id
topic: topic-name
kind: aggregate
options:
interval: 300000000000
topic: agg_5m
message: '{{.Count}} new events in the last {{.Interval}}'
```
## Using the aggregate event handler
The aggregate event handler subscribes to a topic and aggregates messages
published to that topic at specified intervals.
The TICKscript below, `cpu_alert.tick`, publishes alerts to the `cpu` topic if
CPU idle usage is less than 10% (or CPU usage is greater than 90%).
#### cpu\_alert.tick
```js
stream
|from()
.measurement('cpu')
.groupBy(*)
|alert()
.crit(lambda: "usage_idle" < 10)
.topic('cpu')
```
Add and enable this TICKscript with the following:
```bash
kapacitor define cpu_alert -tick cpu_alert.tick
kapacitor enable cpu_alert
```
Create a new handler file, `aggregated_cpu_alerts.yaml`, using the `aggregate`
event handler that subscribes to the `cpu` topic, aggregates alerts from the
last 10 minutes, and publishes aggregated messages to a new `aggr_cpu` topic.
_Handler files can be YAML or JSON._
#### aggr_cpu_alerts.yaml
```yaml
id: aggr_cpu_alerts_10m
topic: cpu
kind: aggregate
options:
interval: 600000000000
topic: aggr_cpu
message: '{{.Count}} CPU alerts in the last {{.Interval}}'
```
Add the handler file:
```bash
kapacitor define-topic-handler aggr_cpu_alerts_10m.yaml
```
Aggregated CPU alert messages will be published to the `aggr_cpu` topic every
10 minutes. Further handling of the aggregated events can be configured on the
`aggr_cpu` topic.
