Template Engine

The EdgeIQ Template Engine allows users to reference dynamic data from within our system or from an incoming report. It's especially useful to customize the data sent to external systems from a policy action.

Syntax

Anything enclosed in double brackets {{ }} will be interpreted by the template engine. Inside the brackets, you must start with either a keyword or a dot notated reference to any available context data.

Context Data

Context data should be referenced using dot notation and the value referenced should be a string or number unless using the json_object prefix.

Report

.Report.Payload.your_payload_field

Device

.Device.Name
.Device.UniqueID
.Device.Metadata.your_metadata_field

DeviceType

.DeviceType.Name
.DeviceType.Manufacturer
.DeviceType.Model
.DeviceType.Type
.DeviceType.LongDescription
.Device.Metadata.your_metadata_field

Keywords

Keyword	Description	Example
json_object	Marshals the referenced object into a JSON string	`{{ json_object .Report.Payload }}`
secret	Parses a reference to a Secret object (see Secrets below)	`{{ secret "5a2a4fe8-4e4f-45c8-bbe7-b3c721d586aa" }}`

Secrets

EdgeIQ Secrets allow users to securely store sensitive data for integrations with external systems or for reference in policy actions. Once created in our system, a secret can be referenced with template syntax using the secret keyword followed by the secret ID as follows:

{{ secret "5a2a4fe8-4e4f-45c8-bbe7-b3c721d586aa" }}

When parsed, the above template will be replaced with the content string stored in the secret.
