In the transformation definition, how many attributes need to be defined to ensure proper functioning?

In the transformation definition, a minimum of four attributes must be defined to ensure proper functioning. These attributes typically include the "input" field, which specifies the source of the data that needs to be transformed; the "output" field, outlining where the transformed data will be sent; a "condition" that determines when the transformation should take place; and a "format" that describes how the data should be altered.

Having these four attributes defined allows the transformation process to clearly understand what data it is processing, under what conditions it should act, and how the output should be structured. Without a complete set of these attributes, the transformation may not execute as intended, leading to incomplete or incorrect data processing within the Splunk environment.
