Processors

A processor stage represents a type of data processing that you want to perform. You can use as many processors in a flow as you need.

To help create or test flows, you can use development processors.

Standalone flows

In standalone flows, you can use the following processor:

  • Base64 Field Decoder - Decodes Base64 encoded data to binary data.
  • Base64 Field Encoder - Encodes binary data using Base64.
  • Couchbase Lookup - Performs lookups in Couchbase Server to enrich records with data.
  • Data Generator - Serializes a record into a field using the specified data format.
  • Data Parser - Parses NetFlow or syslog data embedded in a field.
  • Delay - Delays passing a batch to the rest of the flow.
  • Encrypt and Decrypt Fields - Encrypts or decrypts fields.
  • Expression Evaluator - Performs calculations on data. Can also add or modify record header attributes.
  • Field Flattener - Flattens nested fields.
  • Field Hasher - Uses an algorithm to encode sensitive data.
  • Field Mapper - Maps an expression to a set of fields to alter field paths, field names, or field values.
  • Field Masker - Masks sensitive string data.
  • Field Merger - Merges fields in complex lists or maps.
  • Field Order - Orders fields in a map or list-map root field type and outputs the fields into a list-map or list root field type.
  • Field Pivoter - Pivots data in a list, map, or list-map field and creates a record for each item in the field.
  • Field Remover - Removes fields from a record.
  • Field Renamer - Renames fields in a record.
  • Field Replacer - Replaces field values.
  • Field Splitter - Splits the string values in a field into different fields.
  • Field Type Converter - Converts the data types of fields.
  • Field Zip - Merges list data from two fields.
  • Geo IP- Returns geolocation and IP intelligence information for a specified IP address.
  • Groovy Evaluator - Processes records based on custom Groovy code.
  • HTTP Client - The HTTP Client processor sends requests to an HTTP resource URL and writes the results to a field.
  • HTTP Router - Routes data to different streams based on the HTTP method and URL path in record header attributes.
  • JavaScript Evaluator - Processes records based on custom JavaScript code.
  • JDBC Lookup - Performs lookups in a database table through a JDBC connection.
  • JDBC Tee - Writes data to a database table through a JDBC connection, and enriches records with data from generated database columns.
  • JSON Generator - Serializes data from a field to a JSON-encoded string.
  • JSON Parser - Parses a JSON object embedded in a string field.
  • Jython Evaluator - Processes records based on custom Jython code.
  • Log Parser - Parses log data in a field based on the specified log format.
  • MLeap Evaluator - Uses a machine learning model stored in an MLeap bundle to generate evaluations, scoring, or classifications of data.
  • MongoDB Atlas Lookup - Performs lookups in MongoDB Atlas or MongoDB Enterprise Server to enrich records with data.
  • PMML Evaluator - Uses a machine learning model stored in a PMML document to generate predictions or classifications of data.
  • PostgreSQL Metadata - Tracks structural changes in source data then creates and alters PostgreSQL tables as part of the Drift Synchronization Solution for PostgreSQL.
  • Record Deduplicator - Removes duplicate records.
  • Redis Lookup - Performs key-value lookups in Redis to enrich records with data.
  • Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 Lookup - Performs lookups in Salesforce using Salesforce Bulk API 2.0.
  • Salesforce Lookup - Performs lookups in Salesforce using the SOAP or Bulk API.
  • Schema Generator - Generates a schema for each record and writes the schema to a record header attribute.
  • SQL Parser - Parses SQL queries in a string field.
  • Static Lookup - Performs key-value lookups in local memory.
  • Stream Selector - Routes data to different streams based on conditions.
  • TensorFlow Evaluator - Uses a TensorFlow machine learning model to generate predictions or classifications of data.
  • Web Client - Sends requests to an HTTP endpoint and writes the results to a field.
  • Whole File Transformer - Transforms Avro files to Parquet.
  • Windowing Aggregator - Performs aggregations within a window of time, displays the results in Monitor mode, and writes the results to events when enabled. This processor does not update the records being evaluated.
  • XML Flattener - Flattens XML data in a string field.
  • XML Parser - Parses XML data in a string field.

Development processors

To help create or test flows, you can use the following development processors:

  • Dev Identity

  • Dev Random Error

  • Dev Record Creator
