Description
Historically, it has been a challenge for our Kapacitor users to downsample a lot of Fields assuming they desire any of the following:
* Fields with their original names (new RP in most cases, so this is fine)
* Don't want to hardcode a Task for every single Field they have
* Don't require templates (templates require even more upfront work anyways)
Having the ability to simply list the Fields you want to aggregate and what you want to name them in a single Task could potentially reduce the amount of TICKscript needed by multiple orders of magnitude.
