Profiles
A profile is a named collection of content search and analysis guidelines. Each profile is made up of search terms and regular expressions that can detect sensitive content in English, German, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese. SCM ships with 4 default profiles:
·General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
·Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
·Protected Health Information (PHI)
·Payment Card Information (PCI)
The file search and analysis criteria requirements for your organization may differ from the system profiles that are available. For example, you may want to create a custom profile to group a different subset of the predefined search terms, add custom search terms for sensitive data types, or analyze data that falls outside common definitions of PII, PHI or financial data. Custom profiles created with the SCM profile wizard can be made available to both SCM and ControlPoint users.
With the standard or custom profiles, SCM allows you to analyze the following file types -
·Compressed files (ZIP, 7z, TAR, RAR etc.)
·Comma Separated Values (CSV)
·Log Files
·Microsoft Excel
·Microsoft Excel 2007
·Microsoft Outlook Express Mail Message
·Microsoft Outlook Message
·Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation
·Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation 2007
·Microsoft PowerPoint Show
·Microsoft PowerPoint Show 2007
·Microsoft Word Document
·Microsoft Word Document 2007
·Open Document Text
·Portable Document Format (PDF)
·Rich Text Format (RTF)
·Text Document

Log files that are generated by the application have different levels of severity. The Settings page lets you specify the logging level of system messages.
Steps to set the logging level
1.From the navigation panel on the left, click Configuration and then click Settings. The Settings page opens.
2.From the Logging Level drop down, select one of the following log levels listed below by descending severity:
·Verbose - Logs that contain the most detailed messages. These messages may contain sensitive application data. These messages are deactivated by default and should never be activated in a production environment.
·Debug - Logs that are used for interactive investigation during development. These logs should primarily contain information useful for debugging and have no long-term value.
·Information - Logs that track the general flow of the application. These logs should have long-term value.
·Warning - Logs that highlight an abnormal or unexpected event in the application flow, but do not otherwise cause the application processes to stop.
·Error - Logs that highlight when the application processes stop due to a failure. These should indicate a failure in the current activity, not an application-wide failure.
·Fatal - Logs that describe an unrecoverable application or system crash, or a catastrophic failure that requires immediate attention.

NOTE: The level you choose will also include all levels below it. For example, if you choose Verbose, all the other log levels will also be tracked. If you choose Warning, then the only the log levels Warning, Error and Fatal will be tracked. |
