Rule type specific metadata
rule_type_metadata
Struct - nested object representing rule type specific metadata. For Data Protection rules, this contains the severity level of the triggered events.

Triggers

The list of available applications and their triggers.

  • "google.workspace.chrome.file.v1.upload"
  • "google.workspace.chrome.file.v1.download"
  • "google.workspace.chrome.web_content.v1.upload"
  • "google.workspace.chrome.page.v1.print"
  • "google.workspace.chrome.url.v1.navigation"
  • "google.workspace.chromeos.file.v1.transfer"
  • "google.workspace.chat.message.v1.send"
  • "google.workspace.chat.attachment.v1.upload"
  • "google.workspace.drive.file.v1.share"
  • "google.workspace.gmail.email.v1.send"

Conditions

To represent data conditions, the API uses Common Expressions Language (CEL) expressions. Each condition follows the pattern of {content type}.{content to scan for}({additional scan parameters}) . For example, all_content.contains('apple') represents a data condition that matches if any of the scanned content (e.g. Drive doc, chat message, etc) contains the substring apple .

Content type

The list of available content types, corresponding to the matching configurations of the same names in the Admin Console.

  • access_levels
  • all_content
  • all_headers
  • body
  • destination_type
  • destination_url
  • drive_enterprise_metadata
  • encryption_state

  • file_size_in_bytes

  • target_user

Content to scan for

The list of available content to scan for, corresponding to the matching configurations of the same names in the Admin Console.

  • contains({string})
  • starts_with({string})
  • ends_with({string})
  • equals({string})
  • matches_dlp_detector({detector name}, {likelihood}, {minimum_match_count: {count}, minimum_unique_match_count: {count}})
    • Corresponds to the matches predefined data typeoption in the Admin Console.
    • {detector name} denotes the predefined data type to scan for, which can be one of the built-in infotypes supported by Cloud DLP: https://cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/docs/infotypes-reference. For example, CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER or US_SOCIAL_SECURITY_NUMBER
    • {likelihood} denotes the likelihood threshold of the match. For example, google.privacy.dlp.v2.Likelihood.LIKELYcorresponds to the Highthreshold in the Admin Console.
  • matches_regex_detector({detector name}, {minimum_match_count: {count}})
    • Corresponds to the matches regular expressionoption in the Admin Console.
    • {detector name} is the resource name of the policy that represents the regular expression detector. See Data Protection Detector section on how to query detector policies in the API.
  • matches_word_list({detector name}, {minimum_match_count: {count}, minimum_unique_match_count: {count}})
    • Corresponds to the matches words from word listoption in the Admin Console.
    • {detector name} is the resource name of the policy that represents the word list detector. See Data Protection Detector section on how to query detector policies in the API.
  • matches_web_category({category})
    • Corresponds to the URL category matchesoption in the Admin Console for Chrome URL visited trigger.
    • {category} denotes the URL category supported by the Admin Console configuration. For the list of available categories and their API representations, see URL categories .
Composite conditions

Multiple base conditions can be mixed with AND (&&), OR (||), or NOT (!) operators to form a composite condition. For example, "all_content.contains('apple') && all_content.contains('banana')" represents a condition that matches if any of the scanned content contains both 'apple' and 'banana' substrings.

Actions

Each application specifies the action to take when the data condition matches in a nested message. For example, { "driveAction" { "warnUser" { } } } represents a Drive action that warns users on external sharing. The application specific actions available are following:

This attribute contains the metadata specific to the rule type. For Data Protection rules, it contains the alerting event severity when the event is reported under the security dashboard and alert center. An example value of the metadata representing LOW alert severity:

 fields {
  key: "ruleTypeMetadata"
  value {
    struct_value {
      fields {
        key: "dlpRuleMetadata"
        value {

            fields {
              key: "alertSeverity"
              value {
                string_value: "LOW"
              }
            }
          }
