public sealed class DiscoveryTarget : IMessage<DiscoveryTarget>, IEquatable<DiscoveryTarget>, IDeepCloneable<DiscoveryTarget>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention v2 API class DiscoveryTarget.
public SecretsDiscoveryTarget SecretsTarget { get; set; }
Discovery target that looks for credentials and secrets stored in cloud
resource metadata and reports them as vulnerabilities to Security Command
Center. Only one target of this type is allowed.
public VertexDatasetDiscoveryTarget VertexDatasetTarget { get; set; }
Vertex AI dataset target for Discovery. The first target to match a
dataset will be the one applied. Note that discovery for Vertex AI can
incur Cloud Storage Class B operation charges for storage.objects.get
operations and retrieval fees. For more information, see Cloud Storage
pricing.
Note that discovery for Vertex AI dataset will not be able to scan images
unless DiscoveryConfig.processing_location.image_fallback_location has
multi_region_processing or global_processing configured.
