Database Discovery Task Wizard - Table Filtering
Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.7.x
Use the Table Filtering page of the database discovery wizard to determine which tables to scan.
1.
Use Include tables to enter the user names, schemas, or table names to scan, separated by semicolons.
*
The discovery filtering mechanism uses a specific full path search pattern. The search pattern is matched as follows: [Catalog.Schema.Table]
*
Use an asterisk (*) before the Database entry type, i.e. *.TB_123, only if the ending of the full path ends with.TB_123. For instance: MyDB.Sys.TB_123.
*
Use an asterisk (*) before and after the Database entry type, i.e. *.Sys.*, for entries that may have entries before and after it in the full path. For instance: MyDB.Sys.TB_123.
In order for tables to be detected within the full path, use the structure described above.
*
Database discovery analyzes data in 5000-record chunks. Each chunk is treated independently, and all policy thresholds are validated against a single chunk. No aggregation of analysis results is accumulated over the entire table. Therefore, if a policy keyword has a threshold of 10 and this keyword is detected 3 times in each of 5 chunks, no breach is triggered. Column names are included in each chunk that is analyzed. Only column names containing fewer than 40 characters are supported.
2.
Use Except to enter the user names, schemas, or table names not to scan.
