### Description
Evaluates expressions on each data point it receives.
A list of expressions may be provided and will be evaluated in the order they are given.
The results of expressions are available to later expressions in the list.
See the property [EvalNode.As](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/eval_node/#as) for details on how to reference the results.
Example:
```javascript
stream
|eval(lambda: "error_count" / "total_count")
.as('error_percent')
```
The above example will add a new field `error_percent` to each
data point with the result of `error_count / total_count` where
`error_count` and `total_count` are existing fields on the data point.
Available Statistics:
* eval_errors -- number of errors evaluating any expressions.
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
Properties
----------
Property methods modify state on the calling node.
They do not add another node to the pipeline, and always return a reference to the calling node.
Property methods are marked using the `.` operator.
### As
List of names for each expression.
The expressions are evaluated in order. The result
of an expression may be referenced by later expressions
via the name provided.
Example:
```javascript
stream
|eval(lambda: "value" * "value", lambda: 1.0 / "value2")
.as('value2', 'inv_value2')
```
The above example calculates two fields from the value and names them
`value2` and `inv_value2` respectively.
```javascript
eval.as(names ...string)
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Keep
If called the existing fields will be preserved in addition
to the new fields being set.
If not called then only new fields are preserved. (Tags are
always preserved regardless how `keep` is used.)
Optionally, intermediate values can be discarded
by passing a list of field names to be kept.
Only fields in the list will be retained, the rest will be discarded.
If no list is given then all fields are retained.
Example:
```javascript
stream
|eval(lambda: "value" * "value", lambda: 1.0 / "value2")
.as('value2', 'inv_value2')
.keep('value', 'inv_value2')
```
In the above example the original field `value` is preserved.
The new field `value2` is calculated and used in evaluating
`inv_value2` but is discarded before the point is sent on to child nodes.
The resulting point has only two fields: `value` and `inv_value2`.
```javascript
eval.keep(fields ...string)
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Quiet
Suppress errors during evaluation.
```javascript
eval.quiet()
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Tags
Convert the result of an expression into a tag.
The result must be a string.
Use the `string()` expression function to convert types.
Example:
```javascript
stream
|eval(lambda: string(floor("value" / 10.0)))
.as('value_bucket')
.tags('value_bucket')
```
The above example calculates an expression from the field `value`, casts it as a string, and names it `value_bucket`.
The `value_bucket` expression is then converted from a field on the point to a tag `value_bucket` on the point.
Example:
```javascript
stream
|eval(lambda: string(floor("value" / 10.0)))
.as('value_bucket')
.tags('value_bucket')
.keep('value') // keep the original field `value` as well
```
The above example calculates an expression from the field `value`, casts it as a string, and names it `value_bucket`.
The `value_bucket` expression is then converted from a field on the point to a tag `value_bucket` on the point.
The `keep` property preserves the original field `value`.
Tags are always kept since creating a tag implies you want to keep it.
```javascript
eval.tags(names ...string)
```
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
Chaining Methods
----------------
Chaining methods create a new node in the pipeline as a child of the calling node.
They do not modify the calling node.
Chaining methods are marked using the `|` operator.
### Alert
Create an alert node, which can trigger alerts.
```javascript
eval|alert()
```
Returns: [AlertNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/alert_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Barrier
Create a new Barrier node that emits a BarrierMessage periodically
One BarrierMessage will be emitted every period duration
```javascript
eval|barrier()
```
Returns: [BarrierNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/barrier_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Bottom
Select the bottom `num` points for `field` and sort by any extra tags or fields.
```javascript
eval|bottom(num int64, field string, fieldsAndTags ...string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/influx_q_l_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Combine
Combine this node with itself. The data is combined on timestamp.
```javascript
eval|combine(expressions ...ast.LambdaNode)
```
Returns: [CombineNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/combine_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Count
Count the number of points.
```javascript
eval|count(field string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/influx_q_l_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### CumulativeSum
Compute a cumulative sum of each point that is received.
A point is emitted for every point collected.
```javascript
eval|cumulativeSum(field string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/influx_q_l_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Deadman
Helper function for creating an alert on low throughput, a.k.a. deadman's switch.
- Threshold -- trigger alert if throughput drops below threshold in points/interval.
- Interval -- how often to check the throughput.
- Expressions -- optional list of expressions to also evaluate. Useful for time of day alerting.
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
data
|deadman(100.0, 10s)
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
The above is equivalent to this
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
data
|stats(10s)
.align()
|derivative('emitted')
.unit(10s)
.nonNegative()
|alert()
.id('node \'stream0\' in task \'{{ .TaskName }}\'')
.message('{{ .ID }} is {{ if eq .Level "OK" }}alive{{ else }}dead{{ end }}: {{ index .Fields "emitted" | printf "%0.3f" }} points/10s.')
.crit(lambda: "emitted" <= 100.0)
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
The `id` and `message` alert properties can be configured globally via the 'deadman' configuration section.
Since the [AlertNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/alert_node/) is the last piece it can be further modified as usual.
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
data
|deadman(100.0, 10s)
.slack()
.channel('#dead_tasks')
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
You can specify additional lambda expressions to further constrain when the deadman's switch is triggered.
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
// Only trigger the alert if the time of day is between 8am-5pm.
data
|deadman(100.0, 10s, lambda: hour("time") >= 8 AND hour("time") <= 17)
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
```javascript
eval|deadman(threshold float64, interval time.Duration, expr ...ast.LambdaNode)
```
Returns: [AlertNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/alert_node/)

eval|stateDuration(expression ast.LambdaNode)
```
Returns: [StateDurationNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/state_duration_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Stats
Create a new stream of data that contains the internal statistics of the node.
The interval represents how often to emit the statistics based on real time.
This means the interval time is independent of the times of the data points the source node is receiving.
```javascript
eval|stats(interval time.Duration)
```
Returns: [StatsNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/stats_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Stddev
Compute the standard deviation.
```javascript
eval|stddev(field string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/influx_q_l_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Sum
Compute the sum of all values.
```javascript
eval|sum(field string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/influx_q_l_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### SwarmAutoscale
Create a node that can trigger autoscale events for a docker swarm cluster.
```javascript
eval|swarmAutoscale()
```
Returns: [SwarmAutoscaleNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/swarm_autoscale_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Top
Select the top `num` points for `field` and sort by any extra tags or fields.
```javascript
eval|top(num int64, field string, fieldsAndTags ...string)
```
Returns: [InfluxQLNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/influx_q_l_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Union
Perform the union of this node and all other given nodes.
```javascript
eval|union(node ...Node)
```
Returns: [UnionNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/union_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Where
Create a new node that filters the data stream by a given expression.
```javascript
eval|where(expression ast.LambdaNode)
```
Returns: [WhereNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/where_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
### Window
Create a new node that windows the stream by time.
NOTE: Window can only be applied to stream edges.
```javascript
eval|window()
```
Returns: [WindowNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/window_node/)
<a class="top" href="javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('article-heading')[0].scrollIntoView();" title="top"><span class="icon arrow-up"></span></a>
