Example Configuration 

Basic Configuration 

Below is an example of configuration using the defaults.

Web Interface 

Standalone Processor 

apiVersion: bindplane.observiq.com/v1
kind: Processor
metadata:
  id: mask_sensitive_data
  name: mask_sensitive_data
spec:
  type: mask_sensitive_data
  parameters:
    - name: telemetry_types
      value: ['Metrics', 'Logs', 'Traces']

Custom Rules Values 

Here you can add custom rules for masking. The Key is the name of the rule and the Value is the regular expression to match against.

Example 

The default rule for Date of Birth masking would not match against a date that is separated by dashes, e.g 01-01-1990, but we can include a stricter regular expression in the Custom Rules parameter. Here we created a rule called birth_date_dash with value \b(0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])-(19|20)\d{2}\b. This will match against dates separated by dashes.

Exclusions 

You can exclude fields from being masked based on their key by specifiying excluded keys in the body, resources, or attributes respectively.
