Database Fingerprinting Wizard - Fingerprinting Type

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.4.x

Use the Fingerprinting Type page of the database fingerprinting wizard to determine how scans are performed.

Select Full fingerprinting to perform a full scan every time the data is fingerprinted. (This could be a scheduled or on-demand fingerprinting task.)

The entire selected table is fingerprinted.

These settings are changed on deploy. Whenever such a setting changes, both the changed repository and the primary repository become un-synchronized.

Select Differential fingerprinting to scan only records that have changed since the last scan.

This option is much quicker.

Use Field by which to compare scans to specify which field to use for the record comparisons. The crawler checks whether the specified field has changed. If it has, it re-fingerprints the last field before this one and all new fields. If it has not, the crawler ignores the table. If this field does not exist, it performs a full fingerprinting scan.

Mark Full scan every nn scheduled scans to periodically run a full scan. Because the data inside already-fingerprinted rows can change, this is considered a best practice.
