Message Transformation searches and loads all rule files in the <TRAVERSE_HOME>/plugins/messages and the <TRAVERSE_HOME>/etc/messages/ directories on startup. These rule files have the naming format xx_rule_yyyy.xml, and are loaded in sequential order sorted by name.
These rules are used to parse the log messages using regular expressions, extract the different fields (such as device name, test, and log message), and then decide if the message should be accepted or dropped because it is not interesting.
Finally, the incoming log messages are transformed into a different output format based on the rule transformation element.
Once the message is transformed, it is forwarded to the specified Data Gathering Engine (DGE), where it is displayed on the Event Manager console and can optionally trigger an action.
