Data Patterns

Data Patterns#

Data patterns define patterns for data filtering profiles.

File Location#

Data patterns are defined in files located in:

ngfw/objects/custom objects/data patterns

This path is defined in the settings.py module as DATA_PATTERNS_FOLDER.

File format#

Applications must be defined in idividual JSON or YAML files. Create a data pattern in the PAN-OS administrative UI, export it as XML, convert to YAML or JSON and save to the ngfw/objects/custom objects/data patterns folder.

Here is an example in the YAML format:

entry:
  '@name': AIP-Confidential-Excel
  pattern-type:
    file-properties:
      pattern:
        entry:
        - '@name': AIP Excel - Confidential
          file-type: aip-encrypted-xlsx
          file-property: panav-rsp-office-dlp-msip-label
          property-value: 33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333
        - '@name': Excel - Confidential
          file-type: xlsx
          file-property: panav-rsp-office-dlp-msip-label
          property-value: 33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333
