Custom Data Identifier Testing

The Custom Data Identifier Testing resource provides an environment for developing, testing, and refining a custom data identifier. A custom data identifier is a set of criteria that you define to detect sensitive data in a data source. By using custom data identifiers, you can detect sensitive data that reflects your particular scenarios, intellectual property, or proprietary data, and supplement the managed data identifiers that Amazon Macie provides.

When you develop a custom data identifier, you specify a regular expression (regex) that defines a text pattern to match in a data source. You can also specify character sequences, such as words and phrases, and a proximity rule to refine the analysis of data. The character sequences can be: keywords, which are words or phrases that must be in proximity of text that matches the regex, or ignore words, which are words or phrases to exclude from the results. For more information, see Building custom data identifiers in the Amazon Macie User Guide.

You can use the Custom Data Identifier Testing resource to develop, test, and refine a custom data identifier. Note that this resource doesn't create a persistent custom data identifier that you can later access and use in Macie. Instead, it provides a test environment that can help you optimize and refine a custom data identifier by using sample data. When you finish developing and testing a custom data identifier, use the Custom Data Identifier Creation resource to create it.

Properties

AccessDeniedException

Provides information about an error that occurred due to insufficient access to a specified resource.

Property	Type	Required	Description
`message`	string	False	The explanation of the error that occurred.

ConflictException

Provides information about an error that occurred due to a versioning conflict for a specified resource.

Property	Type	Required	Description
`message`	string	False	The explanation of the error that occurred.

InternalServerException

Provides information about an error that occurred due to an unknown internal server error, exception, or failure.

Property	Type	Required	Description
`message`	string	False	The explanation of the error that occurred.

ResourceNotFoundException

Provides information about an error that occurred because a specified resource wasn't found.

Property	Type	Required	Description
`message`	string	False	The explanation of the error that occurred.

ServiceQuotaExceededException

Provides information about an error that occurred due to one or more service quotas for an account.

Property	Type	Required	Description
`message`	string	False	The explanation of the error that occurred.

TestCustomDataIdentifierRequest

Specifies the detection criteria of a custom data identifier to test.

Property	Type	Required	Description
`ignoreWords`	Array of type string	False	An array that lists specific character sequences (ignore words) to exclude from the results. If the text matched by the regular expression contains any string in this array, Amazon Macie ignores it. The array can contain as many as 10 ignore words. Each ignore word can contain 4-90 UTF-8 characters. Ignore words are case sensitive.
`keywords`	Array of type string	False	An array that lists specific character sequences (keywords), one of which must precede and be within proximity (`maximumMatchDistance`) of the regular expression to match. The array can contain as many as 50 keywords. Each keyword can contain 3-90 UTF-8 characters. Keywords aren't case sensitive.
`maximumMatchDistance`	integer Format: int32	False	The maximum number of characters that can exist between the end of at least one complete character sequence specified by the `keywords` array and the end of the text that matches the regex pattern. If a complete keyword precedes all the text that matches the pattern and the keyword is within the specified distance, Amazon Macie includes the result. The distance can be 1-300 characters. The default value is 50.
`regex`	string	True	The regular expression (regex) that defines the pattern to match. The expression can contain as many as 512 characters.
`sampleText`	string	True	The sample text to inspect by using the custom data identifier. The text can contain as many as 1,000 characters.

TestCustomDataIdentifierResponse

Provides test results for a custom data identifier.

Property Type Required Description

Property	Type	Required	Description
`matchCount`	integer Format: int32	False	The number of occurrences of sample text that matched the criteria specified by the custom data identifier.

matchCount

integer

Format: int32

False

ThrottlingException

Provides information about an error that occurred because too many requests were sent during a certain amount of time.

Property	Type	Required	Description
`message`	string	False	The explanation of the error that occurred.

ValidationException

Provides information about an error that occurred due to a syntax error in a request.

Property	Type	Required	Description
