Feature Request

Proposal:

Change the order of precedence when applying tags.

Current behavior:

Tags generated by a input plugin are favored over tags specified in the configuration of the plugin via the tags subtable, which are in turn favored over tags in the global tags section.

Desired behavior:

Change the precedence to be (highest to lowest):

  1. tags subtable
  2. global tags
  3. tags generated by plugin

Use case: [Why is this important (helps with prioritizing requests)]

This would allow overriding a tag generated by the plugin.
