Custom information type provided by the user. Used to find
domain-specific sensitive information configurable to the data
in question.
This message has oneof_ fields (mutually exclusive fields).
For each oneof, at most one member field can be set at the same time.
Setting any member of the oneof automatically clears all other
members.
google.cloud.dlp_v2.types.InfoType
CustomInfoType can either be a new infoType, or an extension
of built-in infoType, when the name matches one of existing
infoTypes and that infoType is specified in
InspectContent.info_types field. Specifying the latter
adds findings to the one detected by the system. If built-in
info type is not specified in InspectContent.info_types
list then the name is treated as a custom info type.
likelihood
google.cloud.dlp_v2.types.Likelihood
Likelihood to return for this CustomInfoType. This base
value can be altered by a detection rule if the finding
meets the criteria specified by the rule. Defaults to
VERY_LIKELY if not specified.
google.cloud.dlp_v2.types.StoredType
Load an existing StoredInfoType resource for use in
InspectDataSource. Not currently supported in
InspectContent.
This field is a member of oneof_ type.
detection_rules
MutableSequence[google.cloud.dlp_v2.types.CustomInfoType.DetectionRule]
Set of detection rules to apply to all findings of this
CustomInfoType. Rules are applied in order that they are
specified. Not supported for the surrogate_type
CustomInfoType.
google.cloud.dlp_v2.types.SensitivityScore
Sensitivity for this CustomInfoType. If this
CustomInfoType extends an existing InfoType, the
sensitivity here will take precedence over that
of the original InfoType. If unset for a
CustomInfoType, it will default to HIGH.
This only applies to data profiling.
Deprecated; use InspectionRuleSet instead. Rule for modifying a
CustomInfoType to alter behavior under certain circumstances,
depending on the specific details of the rule. Not supported for the
surrogate_type custom infoType.
Custom information type based on a dictionary of words or phrases.
This can be used to match sensitive information specific to the
data, such as a list of employee IDs or job titles.
Dictionary words are case-insensitive and all characters other than
letters and digits in the unicode Basic Multilingual
Plane <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_%28Unicode%29#Basic_Multilingual_Plane>__
will be replaced with whitespace when scanning for matches, so the
dictionary phrase "Sam Johnson" will match all three phrases "sam
johnson", "Sam, Johnson", and "Sam (Johnson)". Additionally, the
characters surrounding any match must be of a different type than
the adjacent characters within the word, so letters must be next to
non-letters and digits next to non-digits. For example, the
dictionary word "jen" will match the first three letters of the text
"jen123" but will return no matches for "jennifer".
Dictionary words containing a large number of characters that are
not letters or digits may result in unexpected findings because such
characters are treated as whitespace. The
limits <https://cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/limits>__
page contains details about the size limits of dictionaries. For
dictionaries that do not fit within these constraints, consider
using LargeCustomDictionaryConfig in the StoredInfoType API.
