Rule sets
Rule sets are customized instructions that tell McAfee Content Security Reporter to look for a specific
string of data during log file processing and replace it with a different string. This resulting string
appears in reports and is more recognizable to users. A test function is available to validate the result
of a rule set.
Rule sets make your custom columns and user-defined columns work. Configure rule sets to find any
string that appears in a log file and replace it with a different string defined by you. The string can be
letters, numbers, and symbols.
Custom column rule sets
Custom columns are predefined in McAfee Content Security Reporter for the browser and cache
columns. Each custom column has a corresponding rule set. You can modify the rule sets, but you
cannot add or delete rule sets for the custom columns.
User-defined column rule sets
User-defined columns are customized by you for any available log record or header. You create the
rule sets for these columns, which can be edited, deleted, copied, and used by more than one
user-defined column at a time.
