Rules | Discovery | About#

Discovery rules automatically add entities to the discovery index if the entity:

  • has direct or indirect relations to objects in specified workspaces or workspace types, and either

  • matches a given search query
    or

  • contains words included in the a keyword watchlist.

See create discovery rules to learn more.

Entity limits

By default, each Discovery run can return up to 2500 entities. This means a run for a Discovery rule times out if it returns too many Entities.

To change the number of Entities that Discovery rules can return, see Tune Discovery limits in Update platform_settings.py.

A rule must be Enabled for it to take effect. See manage discovery rules to learn more.
