To help you manage your sensitive data discovery jobs, Amazon Macie maintains a complete inventory of your jobs in each AWS Region. With this inventory, you can manage your jobs as a single collection, and access configuration settings, processing statistics, and the status of individual jobs.
For example, you can identify all the jobs that you configured to run on a recurring basis for periodic analysis, assessment, and monitoring. You can also review a breakdown of the configuration settings for a job. This includes settings that define the scope of the analysis. It also includes settings that specify the types of sensitive data that you want Macie to detect and report when the job runs. If you use the Amazon Macie console to manage your jobs, each job's details also provide direct access to sensitive data findings and other results that the job produced.
In addition to these tasks, you can create custom variations of individual jobs. You can copy an existing job, adjust the settings for the copy, and then save the copy as a new job. This can be helpful for cases where you want to analyze different sets of data in the same way, or the same set of data in different ways. It can also be helpful if you want to adjust the configuration settings for an existing job—cancel the existing job, copy it, and then adjust and save the copy as a new job.
