Creating a Data Classification Plan for Threat Analysis

To define indexing requirements, create a data classification plan for threat analysis.

Creating Data Classification Plans from the Client or the Subclient Page

You can create data classification plans at the client level from the Configuration sub tab or at the subclient level from the Overview subtab.

Procedure

1. From the client page, go to the Configuration subtab.

   From the subclient page, go to the Overview subtab.

2. In the Threat Analysis tile, click Edit.

   The Edit Plan page appears.

3. In the upper-right corner of the page, click Add plan.

   The Create data classification plan - Threat analysis page appears.

4. On the Configuration tab, complete the following steps:

   1. In the Plan name box, enter a unique name for the plan.

   2. Create an index server or use an existing index server:

      • To create an index server, click the plus button .

        To use a server as a node for the Index Server, the node must have the Index Store package installed.

      • To use an existing index server, from the Index server list, select the index server.

   3. In the Schedule box, click Add to select a schedule to run the threat analysis.

5. Click Next.

6. Optional. You can use the following options to modify the threat analysis scan. By default, the system will scan all file types, directories, and storage pools.

   On the Advanced options tab, select from the following options:

   • To scan only specific file types, under Include file types, enter the extensions in the Enter file extension box using the format *.ext, and then click Add.

     Note

     By default, the plan uses the setting *.* to scan backup data for all file types.

   • To exclude specific directories from the scan, under Exclude paths, enter the path in the Enter folder path or pattern box, and then click Add.

     Note

     You can include wildcard expressions in the directory path. For example, to exclude all the files in a temporary directory, enter */temp.

   • In Maximum file size, specify the maximum file size (in megabytes) of files that can be content indexed.

   • From the Storage pool drop-down list, select a specific storage pool to scan.

7. Click Save.
