walkeros-understanding-transformers

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers understand and implement walkerOS transformers that validate, enrich, and redact events as they flow through the pipeline.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Transformer interface: standard Init pattern and push, plus lifecycle methods.
• Inline code transformers and package-based transformers.
• Pipeline integration across pre- and post-collector chains with next linking.

Quick Start

To get started, implement a simple transformer with an Init function that reads optional config, and a push method that appends a timestamp to event.data and returns the event, then wire it into a pre-collector chain so it runs before enrichment.
