# Message normalizer
Normalizer service consumes events published by adapters, normalizes SenML-formatted
ones, and publishes them to the post-processing stream.
## Configuration
The service is configured using the environment variables presented in the
following table. Note that any unset variables will be replaced with their
default values.
| Variable | Description | Default |
|--------------------|------------------------------|-----------------------|
| MF_NATS_URL | NATS instance URL | nats://localhost:4222 |
| MF_NORMALIZER_PORT | Normalizer service HTTP port | 8180 |
## Deployment
The service itself is distributed as Docker container. The following snippet
provides a compose file template that can be used to deploy the service container
locally:
```yaml
version: "2"
services:
normalizer:
image: mainflux/normalizer:[version]
container_name: [instance name]
environment:
MF_NATS_URL: [NATS instance URL]
MF_NORMALIZER_PORT: [Service HTTP port]
```
To start the service outside of the container, execute the following shell script:
```bash
# download the latest version of the service
go get github.com/mainflux/mainflux
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mainflux/mainflux
# compile the app; make sure to set the proper GOOS value
make normalizer
# copy binary to bin
make install
# set the environment variables and run the service
MF_NATS_URL=[NATS instance URL] MF_NORMALIZER_PORT=[Service HTTP port] $GOBIN/mainflux-normalizer
```
