In the previous demo sessions covering Itential Data Transformations, we’ve discussed the burdens that both NetOps and DevOps teams are faced with when trying to automate across multiple networks and IT systems, the basics of JSON schemas and objects, and how to create and utilize Data Transformations in the Itential Automation Platform.
In this demo, we will spend more time looking at the variety of methods available to the user when building Data Transformations, and how to build more advanced Transformations within Itential using these methods.
In this demo, you will learn the following:
- Inferring and testing JSON schemas
- Using multiple input and output schemas
- Formatting human readable output
- Running queries and regular expressions
