Edge Delta Knowledge Libraries
2 minute read
Overview
The Edge Delta Knowledge Libraries provide a reference for configuring common Golang Regex patterns, CEL macros, and Grok parser patterns. It also contains the libraries for Packs and Lookup tables. To open the Knowledge library, click Pipelines and select Knowledge. Then select one of the library tabs:
Regex
Regex patterns are used to configure many Edge Delta nodes such as the Mask node.
To create a new regex pattern based on a set of logs, click Create custom regex.
You paste a sample into the Sample data field, select a portion of a data item and select Generate regex pattern. An AI assistant suggests a pattern that matches your selection, and you can see the matching items. Click Save to add this regex to your Regex library.
CEL
CEL macros are used to configure many Edge Delta nodes.
OTTL
The Edge Delta OTTL extensions are listed on the OTTL tab. These are custom functions developed by Edge Delta to extend OTTL.
Grok
Grok patterns are used to configure the Grok processor.
Lookups
Upload lookup tables for lookup nodes on this tab. See Lookup node and Use Lookup Tables.
Telemetry Templates
Telemetry Templates are used by the Telemetry Generator Source to generate sample logs, metrics or traces. The templates define the data structure of the generated telemetry. This is useful for testing a pipeline with data that looks like your production data.
See Effective Pipeline Design for details on using templates to test and validate pipeline configurations.
