+### Metric attributes modifiers
+
+JMX attributes values may require modification or normalization in order to fit semantic conventions.
+
+For example, with JVM memory, the `java.lang:name=*,type=MemoryPool` MBeans have `type` attribute with either `HEAP` or `NON_HEAP` value.
+However, in the semantic conventions the metric attribute `jvm.memory.type` should be lower-cased to fit the `jvm.memory.used` definition, in this case we can
+apply the `lowercase` metric attribute transformation as follows:
+
+
+```yaml
+---
+rules:
+  - bean: java.lang:name=*,type=MemoryPool
+    mapping:
+      Usage.used:
+        type: updowncounter
+        metric: jvm.memory.used
+        unit: By
+        metricAttribute:
+          jvm.memory.pool.name	: param(name)
+          jvm.memory.type: lowercase(beanattr(type))
+```
+
+For now, only the `lowercase` transformation is supported, other additions might be added in the future if needed.
+
