Transform

Modify output from a preceding node in the runbook into a JSON format that Riverbed IQ can use to provide input to another node. For example, transform the response from an HTTP Query node into a JSON format that Riverbed IQ can use to display data in visualizations such as tables and charts.

A Transform node can follow and take input from these node types in a runbook sequence:

• Data Query (any)

• Impact (any)

• Decision Branch

• HTTP Query

A Transform node can output data to these node types in a runbook sequence:
