What is a stylesheet?

Tip

Use Stylesheets in Nodinite to visualize data for the business in a format they can understand. You can also use this feature to hide whatever sensitive data they (or anyone for that matter) do not need to see

Nodinite has built-in support for Stylesheets. You can present both XML and JSON data for end-users in a user-friendly format.
XML - Convert XML into XML or HTML
JSON - Convert JSON into any other format

Stylesheet example
Here's an example of an XML message transformed into a user-friendly format (HTML).

Features

  • XSLT - Transform an XML document into HTML or XML
  • Liquid - Transform any JSON document into HTML or flat files or nearly any imaginable text-based output
    • Find a JSON Example with base64encoded XML content presented as XML here
  • There can be any number of different Stylesheets for each Message Type.
  • You can use the same stylesheet on many Message Types.
  • You can use the stylesheets to format the output for the Event Log Alarm Plugin.
  • You can use the stylesheets to format the output for the E-Mail and E-mail with options Alarm Plugin.

The Stylesheet can be associated with a Message Type, and is then further used in Log Views.

Nodinite understands how to convert a given payload using the selected Stylesheet since all Logged Events have the mandatory property 'Message Type' set.
