The source's display name. A source's display name must be unique amongst its siblings, for example, two sources with the same parent can't share the same display name. The display name must have a length between 1 and 64 characters (inclusive).
↳ description
string
The description of the source (max of 1024 characters). Example: "Web Security Scanner is a web security scanner for common vulnerabilities in App Engine applications. It can automatically scan and detect four common vulnerabilities, including cross-site-scripting (XSS), Flash injection, mixed content (HTTP in HTTPS), and outdated or insecure libraries."
↳ canonical_name
string
The canonical name of the finding source. It's either "organizations/{organization_id}/sources/{source_id}", "folders/{folder_id}/sources/{source_id}", or "projects/{project_number}/sources/{source_id}", depending on the closest CRM ancestor of the resource associated with the finding.
A source's display name must be unique amongst its siblings, for example,
