public sealed class ExcludeByHotword : IMessage<ExcludeByHotword>, IEquatable<ExcludeByHotword>, IDeepCloneable<ExcludeByHotword>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention v2 API class ExcludeByHotword.
The rule to exclude findings based on a hotword. For record inspection of
tables, column names are considered hotwords. An example of this is to
exclude a finding if it belongs to a BigQuery column that matches a specific
pattern.
public CustomInfoType.Types.DetectionRule.Types.Proximity Proximity { get; set; }
Range of characters within which the entire hotword must reside.
The total length of the window cannot exceed 1000 characters.
The windowBefore property in proximity should be set to 1 if the hotword
needs to be included in a column header.
