Developing a custom transformer

This section provides reference information that is useful for developers who want to create and deploy a custom vulnerability data transformer to integrate data from a third-party scanning tool. Once the custom transformer is deployed, PE reports vulnerabilities detected on Puppet-managed nodes, allowing you to apply relevant patches for vulnerability remediation.

See below for an overview of the functions of a transformer, and information about the Puppet module that provides a reference implementation of the integration.

For an overview of vulnerability remediation capabilities in PE, see Vulnerability remediation.

For an overview of data integration requirements, see Integrate vulnerability data from a security scanner.
