Boolean Inverter

---

Description

The Boolean Inverter processor inverts the value of a boolean field in a data stream. It supports:

• Single field inversion
• TRUE to FALSE conversion
• FALSE to TRUE conversion
• In-place value modification
• Simple boolean logic
• Direct value negation

This processor is essential for:

• Negating boolean conditions
• Inverting control signals
• Complementing state values
• Reversing logic gates
• Creating opposite states
• Implementing NOT operations

---

Required input

The processor requires a data stream containing at least one boolean field to invert.

---

Configuration

Invert Field

Select the boolean field to invert. This field's value will be negated (TRUE becomes FALSE, FALSE becomes TRUE).

Output

The processor creates a new event containing:

• All original fields from the input event
• The selected field with its value inverted

Example

Input Event

{
  "deviceId": "sensor01",
  "isActive": true,
  "timestamp": 1586380104915
}

Configuration

• Invert Field: isActive

Output Event

{
  "deviceId": "sensor01",
  "isActive": false,
  "timestamp": 1586380104915
}

Use Cases

1. Control Systems

   • Invert control signals
   • Negate status flags
   • Reverse logic gates
   • Complement states
   • Create opposite conditions

2. State Management

   • Invert state values
   • Negate status indicators
   • Reverse boolean flags
   • Complement conditions
   • Create inverse states

3. Logic Operations

   • Implement NOT gates
   • Negate conditions
   • Reverse boolean logic
   • Complement expressions
   • Create opposite states

4. Signal Processing

   • Invert digital signals
   • Negate binary values
   • Reverse boolean states
   • Complement conditions
   • Create inverse signals

Notes

• Only boolean fields can be inverted
• Inversion is in-place
• Original value is replaced
• Processing is stateless
• Multiple inversions require chaining
• Consider logic implications
• Inversion is immediate
• No delay in processing
• No additional fields created
• Simple boolean negation
