 # Data collection transformations in Azure Monitor
 With transformations in Azure Monitor, you can filter or modify incoming data before it's sent to a Log Analytics workspace. This article provides a basic description of transformations and how they're implemented. It provides links to other content for creating a transformation.
 
-Transformations are performed in Azure Monitor in the [data ingestion pipeline](../essentials/data-collection.md) after the data source delivers the data and before it's sent to the destination. The data source might perform its own filtering before sending data but then rely on the transformation for further manipulation before it's sent to the destination.
+Transformations are performed in Azure Monitor in the data ingestion pipeline after the data source delivers the data and before it's sent to the destination. The data source might perform its own filtering before sending data but then rely on the transformation for further manipulation before it's sent to the destination.
 
 Transformations are defined in a [data collection rule (DCR)](data-collection-rule-overview.md) and use a [Kusto Query Language (KQL) statement](data-collection-transformations-structure.md) that's applied individually to each entry in the incoming data. It must understand the format of the incoming data and create output in the structure expected by the destination.

 The data sent by your application to the API must be formatted in JSON and match the structure expected by the DCR. It doesn't necessarily need to match the structure of the target table because the DCR can include a [transformation](../essentials//data-collection-transformations.md) to convert the data to match the table's structure. You can modify the target table and workspace by modifying the DCR without any change to the API call or source data.
