Overview

The Unpack JSON Configuration tool allows you to convert and view the underlying Jinja-templated configurations of a dynamic operator as static JSON. This process simplifies the inspection of complex configurations within your data pipeline.

How to Access

To unpack a configuration, follow these steps:

1. Locate the Tool: Click the Unpack JSON Configuration option found in the lower-left corner of the Pipeline Builder page.

2. Select the Operator: Once active, dynamic operators on your canvas will be highlighted. Click on a specific highlighted operator to display its JSON configuration.

Requirements for Success:

• Upstream Health: All preceding operators in the pipeline must be valid and error-free.

• Jinja Integrity: The operator must contain valid Jinja syntax (though the resulting JSON doesn't need to be valid yet).

Feature Benefits

• Transparency: Easily audit the logic inside dynamic operators.

• Troubleshooting: Quickly identify issues in how Jinja templates are being rendered.

• Efficiency: Simplifies the translation of dynamic variables into readable JSON formats for verification.

Summary

The Unpack JSON feature provides a bridge between dynamic Jinja code and static JSON inspection. By selecting the tool from the bottom-left menu and clicking a highlighted operator, you can instantly verify your configuration logic, provided all upstream errors are resolved first.
