ProtectThe toggle on the Cribl Guard homepage that adds a Post-Processing Pipeline to the target Destination with the Cribl Guard Function. Credit consumption begins as soon as data flows through the Cribl Guard Function.
Scanning RulesetsIn the Cribl Guard Function, scanning rulesets are combinations of rules and anchor terms that identify sensitive data in your event streams.
Pattern to matchThe regular expression pattern that identifies strictly on patterns in your event data. For example, a pattern to match on credit cards would look for strings of numbers between 0-9, including hyphens or periods, in a specific order.
Anchor termsThe optional terms or characters that you can add to Cribl Guard rules. Anchor terms help improve the accuracy of data matching and limit unnecessary data redaction.
  • For example, adding the anchor terms cc, creditcard, and visa could help identify a 16-digit number string as a credit card instead of a similar, 16-digit UUID. Matches are highlighted in the sample events panel.
  • You can add up to a maximum of six anchor terms to a Cribl Guard rule.
