Cookbooks
The cookbooks are a library of working code taken from real deployments — FPL parsers that turn a specific vendor's raw output into normalized events, and report scripts that query the data lake and assemble tables for dashboards and scheduled delivery. They are not tutorials: each recipe is a complete, functioning script meant to be copied into a processor and adapted, which makes them the fastest route from "this device is sending data" to "this data is usable". Where a vendor integration page describes how to get data flowing, the cookbook for that vendor is what makes sense of it once it arrives.
What is in this section
- Reports — report scripts that query the data lake and build tables, metrics and alerts for dashboards and scheduled reports.
- Parsers — FPL processor scripts that select and normalize raw records from specific vendors, plus general-purpose utility recipes.
When no recipe exists
Several supported devices have no cookbook entry. Cover what to do in that case: start from Passthrough to see the raw records, build up field extraction from there, and contact support, who will write a parser for an unsupported format at no cost.
