1. Introduction

Introduction

A filter is executed sequentially for each data packet. Each filter accepts the raw data, and the values processed up to that point as input. A filter can perform one or both of the following actions:

• Process and/or change the raw data packet.
• Add, remove or change one or more payload values.

Payload values will ultimately undergo conversion into Meta/Telemetry properties, which will then be transmitted to the Collector. Each data packet, generated through the filter, produces a distinct set of payload values, and its processing is independent of other data packets. For more information about the available filters in the Generic Driver, follow the links below. These will connect you to sections that offer brief highlights of each filter along with comprehensive user guides and full descriptions:
