Setting up the Scan Configuration

After the datasource connection succeeds, use the following steps to create a scan configuration, start a database scan, and view the classification results.

Steps

  1. If the connection succeeds, the New Scan Configuration page appears. Enter a Name and select the specific credential from the drop-down.
  2. Choose the scope of the scan.
    • Click Entire Data Source to scan the entire data source.
    • Select Specific Path to scan a specific schema in the window that opens.

    If you selected Specific Path, select the folder path in the window that opens. You can also use the Search box to find a schema or specific tables in a schema. Based on the table name searched for, the tables are listed. Select the specific tables from the displayed list that you want to include in the scan and click Select.

  3. On the next screen, choose how to proceed.
    • Select SAVE & CLOSE to save the configuration for future scans.
    • Click START DATABASE SCAN to start a scan.
  4. If you selected START DATABASE SCAN in the previous step, click ACCEPT to proceed.
    Note: Before starting the START DATABASE SCAN, ensure that you perform a trustee scan.
  5. Once the scan status is complete, click the Scan Analytics icon.

    Note: In the discovery phase, database basic metadata (data type, size, and relations) are collected. At this stage, no column content is analyzed.
  6. Click VIEW IN THE PAGE to view column audit log details.

    The screenshot shows that 18 items were classified as a result of this analysis. The analysis reviewed permissions, extracted and inspected the content, and determined sensitivity and risk levels using Patterns/Detectors and AI Mesh.
