Event Content Transformation

EG transforms CloudEvents-compliant events so that they can be processed by specified targets.

Supported transform types: pass-through, variables, constants.

Pass-through

Directly route CloudEvents-compliant events to the target. Example:

Before Transformation

Transform Type

After Transformation

 
{
    "events":[{
	"id": "4b26115b-73e-cf74a******",
        "specversion": "1.0",
	"source": "HC.OBS",
	"type": "object:put",
	"datacontenttype": "application/json",
	"subject": "xxx.jpg",
	"time": "2022-01-17T12:07:48.955Z",
	"data": {
		"name": "test01",
		"state": "enable"
	}
    }]
}

Pass-through

 
{
    "events":[{
	"id": "4b26115b-73e-cf74******",
        "specversion": "1.0",
	"source": "HC.OBS",
	"type": "object:put",
	"datacontenttype": "application/json",
	"subject": "xxx.jpg",
	"time": "2022-01-17T12:07:48.955Z",
	"data": {
		"name": "test01",
		"state": "enable"
	}
    }]
}

Variables

Route variables in CloudEvents-compliant events to the target by using a template. Example:

Before Transformation

Transform Type

After Transformation

 
{
    "events":[{
	"id": "4b26115b-73e-cf74a******",
        "specversion": "1.0",
	"source": "HC.OBS",
	"type": "object:put",
	"datacontenttype": "application/json",
	"subject": "xxx.jpg",
	"time": "2022-01-17T12:07:48.955Z",
	"data": {
		"name": "test01",
		"state": "enable"
	}
    }]
}

Parameter

{"name":"$.data.name"}

Template

My name is ${name}
NOTE:

If the event target is FunctionGraph (function computing), the template must be in JSON format. Example:

{"name":"${name}"}
 
My name is test01
NOTE:

If the event target is FunctionGraph (function computing), the transformation result is as follows:

{"name": "test01"}

Example of complex transformation from OBS to EG and then to FunctionGraph:

NOTE:

Constants

Route constants in events to the target. Example:

Before Transformation

Rule

After Transformation

 
{
    "events":[{
	"id": "4b26115b-73cf74a******",
        "specversion": "1.0",
	"source": "HC.OBS",
	"type": "object:put",
	"datacontenttype": "application/json",
	"subject": "xxx.jpg",
	"time": "2022-01-17T12:07:48.955Z",
	"data": {
		"name": "test01",
		"state": "enable"
	}
    }]
}

Parameter

test01
NOTE:

If the event target is FunctionGraph (function computing), the rule must be in JSON format. Example:

{"name": "test01"}
 
test01
NOTE:

If the event target is FunctionGraph (function computing), the transformation result is as follows:

{"name": "test01"}

More Examples

  1. After you set a DMS for RabbitMQ or DMS for RocketMQ event source for a subscription, messages will contain the context field in data after being transformed to CloudEvents-compliant events. If you set the transform type to Variables for the event target, the rule must also contain the context field. Example:

    Before Transformation

    Transform Type

    After Transformation

    		 
    {
    "type": "ROCKETMQ:CloudTrace:RocketmqCall",
    "data": {
        "context": {    
		"name": "test01",
		"state": "enable"
         }
    },
    "source": "zhang_roc",
