Actions
You can perform the following actions.
n Add: Create a new information type.
n Edit: Edit the selected information type, except for those that are locked.
n Delete: Delete the selected information type, except for those that are locked.
n Clone: Create a copy of the selected information type to modify for your own use.
n Enable: Enable the selected information type to match against files on the managed Linux and
UNIXî ħmachines.
n Disable: Disable the selected information type to ensure that VCM does not parse a particular file
against that custom information type. When VCM collects the custom information data class (CIDC)
from the managed machines, VCM matches the files identified by a custom information collection filter
against the identification expression defined for the custom information type. For each file that matches
the identification expression, VCM parses the file, and returns the data to the VCM Collector.
