When true, a contextual quote from the data that triggered a finding is
included in the response; see
[Finding.quote][google.privacy.dlp.v2.Finding.quote]. This is not used for
data profiling.
When no InfoTypes or CustomInfoTypes are specified in a request, the
system may automatically choose a default list of detectors to run, which
may change over time.
If you need precise control and predictability as to what detectors are
run you should specify specific InfoTypes listed in the reference,
otherwise a default list will be used, which may change over time.
public InspectConfig.Types.FindingLimits Limits { get; set; }
Configuration to control the number of findings returned.
This is not used for data profiling.
When redacting sensitive data from images, finding limits don't apply. They
can cause unexpected or inconsistent results, where only some data is
redacted. Don't include finding limits in
[RedactImage][google.privacy.dlp.v2.DlpService.RedactImage]
requests. Otherwise, Cloud DLP returns an error.
When set within an
[InspectJobConfig][google.privacy.dlp.v2.InspectJobConfig], the specified
maximum values aren't hard limits. If an inspection job reaches these
limits, the job ends gradually, not abruptly. Therefore, the actual number
of findings that Cloud DLP returns can be multiple times higher than these
maximum values.
Only returns findings equal to or above this threshold. The default is
POSSIBLE.
In general, the highest likelihood setting yields the fewest findings in
results and the lowest chance of a false positive. For more information,
see Match
likelihood.
public RepeatedField<InspectConfig.Types.InfoTypeLikelihood> MinLikelihoodPerInfoType { get; }
Minimum likelihood per infotype. For each infotype, a user can specify a
minimum likelihood. The system only returns a finding if its likelihood is
above this threshold. If this field is not set, the system uses the
InspectConfig min_likelihood.
public RepeatedField<InspectionRuleSet> RuleSet { get; }
Set of rules to apply to the findings for this InspectConfig.
Exclusion rules, contained in the set are executed in the end, other
rules are executed in the order they are specified for each info type.
