The Route processor-type function Function can be used to apply different conditions to the data handling depending on its value. It is recommended that the configuration be completed before connecting other processors or forwarders. The order in which each condition is added is the order in which each condition is applied to the input.

When multiple conditions are added to the Route functionFunction, you can re-order any condition by drag and drop method using the the  icon on the Condition box.

To configure the Route functionFunction, the following is required:

FieldDescription
FieldThe input from the function Function preceding the Route function node in the stream. You can either customize the input field or select from the predefined options. 
Expression

The mathematical conditions to compare values and expressions. The available conditions are: 

  • Less than
  • Equal to
  • Not equal to
  • Greater than
  • List lesser than
  • List equal to
  • List greater than
  • Regexp
ValueThe value that you want to enter for the condition.

Note
titleNote!
  1. Data is checked for matching against each condition only in the order in which the conditions are arranged in the configuration. ExampleFor example, if the data matches the first condition, it is sent via the Output that you enter for that condition. If the data does not match with the first condition, it is checked to match against the second condition or the third condition, and so on.
  2. If the data checked for matching in two or more conditions overlap, then the condition that is first in the order is considered.


Some examples for of using the Regexp option in Expression:

Info
titleExamples - Using regexp

If you have the following input:

Code Block
shipment cost 
cost of shipment 
Shipment cost: 
SHIPMENT

When you enter shipment, the result is:

Code Block
shipment cost => true
cost of shipment => true
Shipment cost: => false
SHIPMENT => false

When you enter [Ss]hipment, the result is:

Code Block
shipment => true
Shipment => true
Shipment cost: => true
SHIPMENT => false

[a-zA-Z] - Matches all lowercase and uppercase letters

\w+ - Matches any word character (alphanumerical or underscore) with at least one length


The Route function Function also enables you to be able to handle data that is not matched with any of the conditions that you might have configured. In In Handling of unmatched records, the available options are:

  • Discard: Discards the unmatched data
  • Create new output: Creates a new output with the name default and adds it to the Route function Function in the stream editor.
