C
Common
Count - This component counts the number of messages received.
Counter - Counts the times it received data grouped by months. Starts counting from 0 each month.
Debug - Writes the received data to the debug tab in the Flow Designer.
First In - This component is a part of __FI__FO stack. It will only pass the first input it received, additional inputs will be added to a stack.
First Out - This component is a part of FI/FO stack. It pulls out the first item in the First In component queue and passes it along. It also clears the stack on Click on the First In component.
IP Filter - This component checks if the incoming ip address is in the given networks. It accepts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and CIDR.
JSON Filter - Filters incoming data basend on a JSON Path and optionally changes the path in the result object.
Last Data - This component keeps count of all received data and passes the last x received entries as an array of raw data, x being the Count number in the settings tab.
Last Usage - This component remembers date and time of the last received data. The component keeps stats of usage in embedded NoSQL DB.
Merge - This component merges all received data into the output Array, until the Count in settings tab is reached. It then passes the array to the output and begins a new one. Clicking on the button will empty the queue.
Merge to object - This component merges all received data into an Object. Each input has an own key (property) that has to be defined in the settings tab. Defining more than two properties creates additional inputs. Clicking on the button will remove any previously received data.
Modified - This component compares a new value with a previous value. If the values are different, it sends the new data to next component.
Pass - [definition will follow]
Repository - This component can write/read data from FlowData message repository or from Flow instance.
Split - This component iterates over the received data and sends every item separately.
D
Databases
