Transforms
Transforms perform transformations on the value of Fields, including Groups. Fields can have any number of transforms attached.
The table below summarises the transforms supported by default.
| Transform | Description |
|---|---|
| Base64 Encode | Base64 encodes the value generated by the fields. |
| Hex String | Encodes value generated by the field into a hex string. |
| Unicode | Encodes into a Unicode string. |
| URL Encode | URL encodes value generated by the field. |
| Zlib Compression | Compresses the value generated by the field using Zlib. |
| IP Address to Binary | Encodes an IP address (e.g.: 127.0.0.1) to its binary form (e.g.: \x7f\x00\x00\x01). |
| MAC Address to Binary | Encodes a MAC address to its binary form. |
| IPv4 Checksum | Calculates the IPv4 checksum of the group the transform is applied to. |
| Date Format | Generates valid, up-to-date date/time string fields by assigning the transform to a Timestamp field. |
| Zero Fill | Prepends a field’s value with zeros (ASCII ‘0’). |
Custom Transforms can be implemented using the SDK.
