Make policy creation use case easier

When creating a policy there are 3 very common stumbling blocks that force them to abandon the definition and start over from step 1. These problems are, roughly in order of occurrence: ***** A. User forgot to define tag for the policy. Currently,...

Bulk adding tags to files via REST API without a policy

We use a SQL select query to fetch files from the Spectrum Discover metaocean table and let a script work on these files. The script produces a JSON file with the fkey of every file and a JSON dictionary with tags that we want to add. Since we're ...

Reallowing non-root Spectrum Scale connections to Spectrum Discover after ESS security enhancements

Spectrum Scale connections are considered the most effective way to provide metadata from IBM ESS storage to Spectrum Discover since both systems are IBM-based. The following IBM video guide outlines the steps for correctly set up Scale connection...

Add a dictionary search

We can already use regex to inspect documents and add tags to them. But is there a more convenient way to add whole dictionaries? I would like to add the following functionality: We define a dictionary called "Hamburg" with hundreds or possibly th...

Flow diagram between the pods in OpenShift

In order to better understand Spectrum Discover a flow diagram would be very useful. For example: We open the web UI and click on connections:frontend pod -> connmgr -> db2whrest 2. We start a policy via the REST endpoint:policyengine pod -&...

Multipile tags created via single REST API request

Currently, tags must be created one by one using a POST request to spectrum discover. Attempting to send a list of tags in JSON like: [ { "tag" : "test1" , "type" : "Characteristics" , "value" : "[ \" True \" , \" False \" ]" } , { "tag" : "test2"...

HDFS support for scanning

Allow Spectrum Discover to scan hdfs data lake environments to identify data candidates for our use cases (AI, governance, data heat).

Make connmgr pod persists its memory state to avoid stalled scans

When the connmgr pod in OpenShift is restarted while a scan is running but not fully indexed into DB2 yet we're stuck in a loop. A newly started connmgr pod does not know about its previuos scans hence it can not commit a scan when asked by the co...

Add functionality to Python SDK for Spetctrum Discover

When run in OpenShift, every pod that uses the SDK seems to require root privileges because the SDK mounts data connections under /nfs-scanner/. We have some Python scripts that use the SDK to work on files and apply tags to them in Spectrum Disco...

Limiting scan permissions for connection

Currently when scanning a connection, Spectrum Discover will index everything. Having the ability to add a connection, but exclude certain paths in that connection based on a set of criteria would be very beneficial. A similar option to how we add...
